v.2.1.0

v.2.1.0

This release is backward-compatible fixing:

1. CVE-2024-29180 - See https://github.com/ChewKeanHo/AutomataCI/security/dependabot/1
2. Some release scripts corrections.

Although the security bug is marked as high severity, it does not affect AutomataCI. We're doing this release mainly because we're distributing srcANGULAR sample workspace so it's due diligence.

v2.0.0

AutomataCI v2.0.0

This change focuses on:

1. stabilizing the shell scripts between POSIX Shell and PowerShell; AND
2. developed i18n inclusiveness (multi-lingual supports).

These 2 features alone are enough to cause non-backward-compatible changes. Otherwise it will be fine. To reference this release, please use this URL: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10846606
