Pluginval: Is anyone using "latest_release" tags?

I’m doing some maintenance to pluginval and would like to remove the “latest_release” tag or at least deprecate its usage. It was a hack required when I first wrote pluginval but GitHub now provides a direct URL for the latest release as documented here: https://github.com/Tracktion/pluginval/blob/develop/docs/Adding%20pluginval%20to%20CI.md

https://github.com/Tracktion/pluginval/releases/latest/download/pluginval_macOS.zip
https://github.com/Tracktion/pluginval/releases/latest/download/pluginval_Linux.zip
https://github.com/Tracktion/pluginval/releases/latest/download/pluginval_Windows.zip

If I stop updating the “latest_release” tag and remove it in a few months, would that be problematic for anyone?

Thanks for the heads up, we were using the lastest_release URL but it should be easy enough to move the above URL.

Ok cool. I’ll probably just leave the “latest_release” tag where it is so it doesn’t break builds for a while and just push new releases with version tags that are accessible with the above URLs.
