Releases
Tinka is released from the 1.x branch, and every release is a tag on it: v1.0.0-alpha.N during the alpha, then betas, then v1.0.0. go install github.com/mucolabs/tinka/cmd/tinka@latest installs the newest tag, and tinka version prints the one you have. Pin the version your App builds against in its go.mod, since APIs change between alpha releases.
The Roadmap lists what comes next.
