It's possible to choose the latest commit by just specifying the main branch, but it'd be nice to have a way to point to the latest stable version. The official github actions does this by manually moving their v1, v2, v3... tags to point to the latest stable versions (example). Another common way to do this is to use the git tag latest if one doesn't want to mess with multiple versions.

Hi @dundargoc 👋 I was on holiday for a few weeks, so it took me some time to reply to this. Anyways, thanks for reporting.

I've tried to read up on the topic. Although moving git tags is controversial, it seems to be the official way to do versioning.

I think it should also be easy to do (although it's some extra manual work for me 😅), doesn't block users from referencing exact versions or commit sha's, and I think it solves an actual problem. So, I'll tag the current latest release as v0.

I hope that one day this can be handled automatically.

I've introduced a v0 tag, and updated the installation examples in the README.
