Thank you everyone who contributed to the recent 1.0.0 release! 🚀

In addition to the usual git tags for each release I think users could benefit from using the GitHub "releases" feature to stay up to date with TLJH and consider updating to new versions. The release notes could either be copied from the changelog or left blank. Either way, users would have the ability to get notified about new releases via GitHub.
