What are Artifacts

You may have noticed on the Releases page that all of our releases are created by Github Actions, and not a developer:

This is because we use Github actions workflows to compile the application & create new releases. Artifacts are just .zip archives created during a github actions workflow run. You can read more about them in the github actions artifacts documentation.

In Volume Control's case, these archives are automatically downloaded during the workflow run, then uploaded as assets to a new draft release. Many of these drafts don't end up being published if we find a bug while testing them, or if we just want to add more features before publishing it. For this reason, the version numbers reported by these builds may be inaccurate.
