Notes on bug fix releases

LabNex has the main branch as the tip branch and has version branches such as release-1.0. The release-1.0 branch serves as a release branch and will be tagged as 1.0. If 1.0 has bugs, pull requests will be merged to the release-1.0 branch, and a 1.1 or 1.0.1 tag will be published, along with a fast-forward merge to the main branch.
