## Release instructions

 Paper uses a YY.## version format string, where YY is the two digit year (aka 23, 24, 25, etc) and ## is the release number of the year (aka 01 for the first release, 02 for the second release, etc., not the month number).

 The release version is located in the main `meson.build` file, no other files contain the version number.

 The changelog is located in `data/app.metainfo.xml.in`.
