``github-releases``
===================
For recipes that fetch release tarballs from github, the ``github-releases``
class sets up a standard way for checking available upstream versions
(to support ``devtool upgrade`` and the Automated Upgrade Helper (AUH)).
To use it, add ``github-releases`` to the inherit line in the recipe,
and if the default value of :term:`GITHUB_BASE_URI` is not suitable,
then set your own value in the recipe. You should then use ``${GITHUB_BASE_URI}``
in the value you set for :term:`SRC_URI` within the recipe.
