Release request - v0.17

[phaedon]

Greetings, I'm in the process of adding support for ImGui and a few related libraries to the Bazel build platform's central registry (BCR) for easy access:

GLFW [done]: https://registry.bazel.build/modules/glfw ImGui [in review]: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry/pull/3795

I'd like to add ImPlot as well. Since the last release was summer 2023, it seems like a good idea to introduce this with the latest version of the code.

When you make the release, could you please also add a release archive? That would give a URL in the format: https://github.com/epezent/implot/releases/download/<version>/<name>.tar.gz to ensure the archive checksum stability. See https://blog.bazel.build/2023/02/15/github-archive-checksum.html#what-went-wrong for more context on this.

FYI : Adding implot 0.16 in the meantime https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-central-registry/pull/3833

Hi @phaedon, as shared in https://github.com/epezent/implot/issues/643, we're expecting to release v0.17 asap (most likely this month)

Hey! Thanks for pointing it out. I don't mind manually uploading the archive to ensure checksum stability, will do it :)
