🎉 Version 1.0.0 - Initial Release!

I'm excited to announce the first official release of the GitHub Release Monitor! This self-hostable application is designed to help you stay up-to-date with your favorite open-source projects by automatically monitoring their GitHub releases and sending you instant email notifications.

✨ Key Features

This initial release comes packed with features to provide a comprehensive monitoring experience:

• Automated Release Monitoring: Add any public GitHub repository and let the app check for new releases automatically in the background.
• Instant Email Notifications: Configure your SMTP settings to receive detailed email notifications the moment a new release is detected.
• Advanced Release Filtering:
  • Global Settings: Define application-wide rules for which release types to monitor (stable, pre-release, draft).
  • Per-Repository Overrides: Customize filtering rules for individual repositories.
  • Pre-release Granularity: Fine-tune your pre-release notifications by selecting specific tags like alpha, beta, rc, etc.
• Modern & Responsive UI: A clean, intuitive interface built with ShadCN UI and Tailwind CSS, featuring full dark mode support and a responsive design for desktop and mobile.
• Internationalization (i18n): Out-of-the-box support for English and German.
• Data Management: Easily import and export your list of monitored repositories via JSON.
• System Diagnostics: A built-in test page to verify GitHub API connectivity and email (SMTP) configuration.
• Secure Authentication: Protects the application with a simple username/password login system.

🐳 Docker Support

For the easiest deployment, a full Docker Compose setup is provided in the example/ directory, including a Traefik reverse proxy for automatic SSL and a local SMTP relay.
