# This workflow creates a GitHub "release" of a nightly build of the project.
#
# Note: This is just an initial rough attempt, there is a lot of future work
# needed here. A brief summary of TODOs:
#
# - Configure a nice release notes template and switch to generating the title
#   and notes instead of hard coding them.
#
# - Do some amount of testing prior to building and uploading the release.
#   - Tempting to try to examine existing testing workflow, but maybe better to
#     allow re-using any complex parts and do our own testing. That would, for
#     example, allow us to narrow or expand the set of tests uses for
#     pre-release testing to potentially be different from continuous testing.
#   - Some questions around what to do in the event of a failure... error? Where
#     does the error go? Create a draft, unpublished release instead?
#
# - Build artifacts for all the different OSes we have GitHub runners for rather
#   than just x86 Linux.
