+Releases are automated with [semantic-release]: merging a PR to `main` derives
+the next version from the commit history, bumps `Cargo.toml`, tags the release
+and builds the RPM.

+> notes are generated from them, so a commit that isn't `feat:`, `fix:`, etc.
+> produces no release. Use `feat:` for a minor bump, `fix:` for a patch, and a
+> `feat!:`/`fix!:` (or a `BREAKING CHANGE:` footer) for a major bump.
