Note about release versioning

I've decided that pre-release tags and release versions should have incremental numbers, rather than removing and recreating the same tag and release. This should make it easier for people testing out beta versions to know what they are running. This means that from now on, the latest "full" release is likely to not be a .0 release, but whichever beta I decide is ready for production. I'll also therefore always increment the "major" version number for any new release (not based on an arbitrary decision about what is major or minor).

I will delete previous beta releases that don't make it to be a latest release. I'm also removing all previous full releases, other than v27.3, to tidy things up.

Updates in 40.1

• Improved the speed of downloading dist files in --native mode by parallelising the downloads.
• jq will now be installed on macOS 14 or lower if not already present, allowing use of --native mode on all devices. The appropriate version of jq for Intel or Apple Silicon is installed.
• Allow the use of --native mode on older systems if jq is present. Note: jq must be in the path (addresses #561).

Bugfixes in 40.1

• Fixed an issue where user language is not respected in the password entry field (addresses #563).
• The extras folder can now be properly overridden (addresses #547).
