Hello,

I would like to inform you that I decided to change the naming convention for version tags in our main repository. So, instead of having "2025.1.1", now we have "v2025.1.1". This notation is de facto standard for versions naming convention on git. Other significant projects such as Linux kernel are using it.

Also, with this change links to the releases changed, so if your script is basing on GitHub artifacts it is highly recommended to updated them. Here is the example:

https://github.com/ultimatepp/ultimatepp/releases/tag/v2025.1.1 // <- New
https://github.com/ultimatepp/ultimatepp/releases/tag/2025.1.1  // <- Old (lack of v prefix in version part)
