Research direction

The payload names no source files, only the GitHub releases API endpoint /repos/posit-dev/ark/releases/latest, which returns 404 because every release is flagged as a pre-release. Start by checking the release flags on the GitHub releases page, and confirm the problem with a request to that endpoint. Done means the endpoint returns the newest stable release. This is a maintainer decision about release settings rather than a code change, so confirm with the maintainers before editing anything.

Description

Hi! There are 252 releases of Ark all of which are marked pre-release.

I would like to find the latest release of Ark via the Github API: https://api.github.com/repos/posit-dev/ark/releases/latest

However, since there is no marked release this returns a 404 and instead the 6mb https://api.github.com/repos/posit-dev/ark/releases page needs to be processed. 😅

Would you all be willing to mark your releases as such?
