 This will release a stable version of whatever is indicated in the VERSION file. e.g. if VERSION contains `1.0.3-dev`, then version `1.0.3` will be tagged and released, and the VERSION file will be updated to `1.0.4-dev`. To release version `1.1.0` instead, manually edit the VERSION file to `1.1.0-dev` and then run `composer release`.
 
 The update-tool.phar file will be uploaded to GitHub on every release. Rebuild [pantheon-systems/docker-updatinator](https://github.com/pantheon-systems/docker-updatinator) to deploy a new version of the tool to the automation processes.
