TLK-2659 Automated Release Workflow

[EugeneLightsOn]

Automated release workflow to automatically create a release after a PR is merged, if a new version is specified in main.py

AI Description

This PR introduces a new automated release workflow for the project. The workflow is triggered when a push is made to the main branch. It checks out the code, retrieves the latest release version, and extracts the version from the main.py file.

The workflow then compares the new version with the latest release version to determine if a new release is needed. If the new version is greater, it creates a new release with a title, release date, and a changelog of merged pull requests since the last release.

Changes

• New workflow: Adds a new workflow named Automated Release to the project.
• Trigger condition: The workflow is triggered when a push is made to the main branch.
• Version comparison: Compares the new version with the latest release version to determine if a new release is required.
• Release creation: Creates a new release with a title, release date, and a changelog of merged pull requests since the last release if the new version is greater.

This looks amazing!
But do we want the release to be driven by the backend? What about changes in the interfaces? Or do they have their own release associated with them?

LGTM . OK to keep as automated release, let's try testing this Friday
