Releases

Maybe it would be better not to release a nightly build if nothing has changed that affects the MSI, like in this latest https://github.com/Romanitho/Winget-AutoUpdate/releases/tag/v2.4.0-0 that only affects internal stuff: v2.3.1...v2.4.0-0
To simply avoid not necessary version increment.
Or that is not possible?

I fixed the nightly build process. It should now log more information, as two hotfixes were also pushed to main. Normally, the nightly build process only runs if a PR has been merged since the last release.

Last night, no release was created because no changes were merged. Everything is back to normal and working as expected.
