Description

Releases up to 5.0.0-beta7 had this:

IMPORTANT: Please download our source code package premake-5.0.0-beta7-src.zip and NOT the automatically created GitHub packages at the bottom of the list.

5.0.0-beta8 does not have premake-5.0.0-beta8-src.zip anymore. Is this intended?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the release process for premake core. Look at the GitHub Actions workflows or scripts that create release assets. Determine if the beta8 release was created differently than beta7, and why the premake 5.0.0 beta8 src.zip asset is missing. Compare the release assets between beta7 and beta8.
