🤖 How to start the automatic functions?

The github-action-workflow is triggered by assigning a version tag (e.g. v1.8.11, V1.8.11, 1.8.11) at push. The version tag consists of a three-part number code. Number code: e.g. 1.8.11 The number code has the following meaning:

• the first number indicates the version number (1).
• the second number indicates the feature (8)
• the third number indicates the fixes, paths... (11)
