Feature: Implement systematic release tags and open-source formatted release notes

[amgowda-oci]

Summary

Introduce a systematic approach for release tags and associated release notes in the repository. The release notes should follow open-source standards, documenting new features added, bugs fixed, regressions identified, and other relevant changes for each release.

Requirements

• Establish a consistent naming convention for release tags (e.g., semantic versioning).
• Automate or document the process for creating release tags and generating release notes.
• Release notes must include:
  • New features added
  • Bugs fixed
  • Any regressions or breaking changes
  • Other significant updates
• Adopt a release notes format that aligns with common open-source practices (e.g., changelog.md style, GitHub releases, etc.).
• Update documentation to describe the release process and where notes can be found.

Acceptance Criteria

• Each release is tagged systematically and accompanied by a release note.
• Release notes document features, fixes, regressions, and changes in an open-source friendly format.
• Documentation is updated to describe the tagging and release note process.
