docs/RELEASING.mdcovers:tools/release.ps1, and the warning not to hand-edit the version alongside it.versionName, five store changelogs, the code moving by 100.-PVERSION_NAMEon the release path, no moving a published tag. Each one is there because it broke a release.fdroid rewritemetarequires and the single rebased commit the maintainers ask for.Documentation only. No code changes.
