I don't have time right now but I'll add #833 to these as well before it gets released. I'll probably list it as a bugfix judging by the code

barbeque-squared commented 2 months ago

Version number has been pushed but apparently the CI is completely broken (I only noticed this now but have also not heard anyone else about it, and it's apparently been broken for ~3 weeks). See #834 for details.

I'm not going to force-push to the master branch of a public repo, nor delete tags, so I immediately made another commit to change it to dev version again, but effectively 2024.5.0 is a non-release. All releases are blocked until this issue is solved.

EDIT: also noticed I used the wrong year in this ticket's title so I fixed that, and checked that I actually did use 2024 in all the actually important places

This has (finally) been released. Now only to make a PR in the other repo, which I'll link back here and close once that's also been merged

Shouldn't this be closed since https://github.com/UltraStar-Deluxe/ultrastar-deluxe.github.io/pull/21 was merged?

Yeah I ran out of time and then completely forgot about closing this.
