Github releases page does not contain newer versions

[aldas]

Please consider changing testify release process so new releases will be visible from repository Github releases page. Seeing latest version date at the right side of the repository landing page in Github is useful.

https://github.com/stretchr/testify/releases https://github.com/stretchr/testify/tags

Currently these pages are quite different. If you are used to check releases page the current version then what you would see is quite different what tags page shows.

It does not need to contain fancy changelog or changelog at all.

This is what I see at the moment - almost 2 years old release:

This link was useful for me to see the changes, and maybe it is for someone else: https://github.com/stretchr/testify/compare/v1.7.0...v1.8.1

I think this would help

Create github workflow action (https://github.com/softprops/action-gh-release) that creates new release when new tag is pushed. This way current testify maintainer/author do not need to change their habbits - this action will kick in on matching tag push.

Workflow file:

name: release on new tag

# this flow will be run only when new tags are pushed that match our pattern
on:
  push:
    tags:
      - "v[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+"

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Create release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
