Roadmap

• Support forking and creating releases in the forked repo:
  • Add a setting to specify a fork of the wordpress-github-updater-demo plugin repo to check for updates.
  • Add a GitHub Action to easily create a new release of the wordpress-github-updater-demo plugin when a new release of the umdigital/wordpress-github-updater plugin.
• Add support for non-SemVer version numbers: a checkbox (checked by default) that when unchecked will generate non-SemVer regexes.
