Great, thank you!

Sorry, I could not find time to have a look at that.

The current state of affairs is as is on purpose:
- I don't want to advertise GitHub-generated releases as releases
- I don't want to encourage users to use those as release archives
- GitHub offers snapshot of repo, but not a release package (filtered,
preprocessed, with documentation built)

So, thank you, but no, I don't use GitHub releases as release landing page,
and tags are named as they are on purpose too., at least not for SOCI 4.0.0,
(This is not uncommon strategy, projects I'm involved in like
GDAL, PDAL, PROJ.4, etc. do not encourage GitHub releases.)
