Release the Download

1. You must be really, really sure that the zip is identical with the last RC.
   1. So do not rebuild it in Visual Studio, but download the latest release and re-upload it.
   2. Be sure that it doesn't have a strange name like ....(1).zip just because you may already have a same-named file in your downloads
2. In the release notes, put all the updates since the last sub-release (not since the last LTS), combining all the RC-notes previously
