+# This workflow automatically creates a GitHub release when a push to master
+# changes the version in lfpykit/version.py (e.g., when a PR is merged).
+# The release tag follows the convention v{version} (e.g., v0.6.0) and the
+# release name follows the convention LFPykit-{version}.
+# Once a release is created, the Upload Python Package workflow is triggered
+# automatically to publish the new version to PyPI.
