+[2015-10-17T18:51:44Z]halabundIf I create a tag, I automatically get a listing under the “Releases” tab. Is this the same as a release? +[2015-10-17T18:52:28Z]halabundThere’s a website which uses the GitHub API to provide direct link to releases. It doesn’t work for my project where I only created a tag. What do I need to do to turn this into a proper release? Do I really need to upload a separate zip file? +[2015-10-17T18:53:59Z]milkihalabund: maybe it needs an annottated tag +[2015-10-17T18:54:18Z]milkihalabund: theres probably a github faq and/or blog post on releases +[2015-10-17T19:05:32Z]halabundmilki: Thanks, I think I figured it out now!
