No releases or tags

[merlinz01]

This repository hasn't published releases or even tags, making versioning unclear.

Assuming it has reached a reasonably stable state, at least a version tag should be created. This is standard procedure for Go modules.

In addition, this prevents the plugin from being used with NixOS:

caddy = pkgs.caddy.withPlugins {
            plugins = [ "github.com/caddyserver/transform-encoder" ];
            hash = "";

gives:

error: Plugins must have tags present (e.g. github.com/caddyserver/transform-encoder@x.y.z)!

Actually a workaround is to take the go module pseudo-version:

nix shell nixpkgs#go --command sh -c "cd $(mktemp -d) && go mod init temp && go get github.com/caddyserver/transform-encoder 2>&1 && grep transform-encoder go.mod"
# github.com/caddyserver/transform-encoder v0.0.0-20260423033309-ba4124974830 // indirect

And use that:

caddy = pkgs.caddy.withPlugins {
            plugins = [ "github.com/caddyserver/transform-encoder@v0.0.0-20260423033309-ba4124974830" ];
            hash = "";
          };

But a real release would still be grand!
