description	Release checklist for FreeXmlToolkit — version bump location, VersionUtil resolution chain, GitHub-release build trigger, and the tag-pinning gotcha when a release needs a fix commit.

Release Checklist

The version is defined in a single location:

1. build.gradle.kts (line ~35): version = "X.Y.Z"

The Gradle build generates build-info.properties from this value during processResources. At runtime, org.fxt.freexmltoolkit.util.VersionUtil resolves the version (JAR manifest → build-info.properties → fallback), so the About dialog, update check, etc. always show the current version — including in IDE / ./gradlew run mode.

Release builds are triggered by creating a GitHub release (release: created) and are pinned to the tag's commit — a gh run rerun rebuilds the OLD commit. If the release needs a fix commit: delete the release and tag (gh release delete <tag> --yes + git push origin :refs/tags/<tag>), push the fix, and recreate the release (lossless while no assets are attached).
