Tag a release on GitHub?

[pramodk]

Traditionally we have releases under https://neuron.yale.edu/ftp/neuron/versions/v7.6/. May be we can also start tagging releases on GitHub so that we can use those for packaging softwares?

I agree that needs to be done. Also some association needs to be developed that indicates compatible
versions between nrn and iv (perhaps similar to nrn and coreneuron). I let this slip long ago in autotools (see nrn/m4/ivcheck.m4) where

        dnl Make sure we are up to date for nrn7.3
	AC_MSG_CHECKING([if InterViews is up to date with respect to nrn-7.4 and later])
...
#if (iv_hines_version < 19)
#error InterViews version is iv_hines_version
#endif
...
The installed version of InterViews is out of date. Install iv-19.tar.gz

So need to keep
iv/src/include/ivversion.h
which was last changed in 2015 up to date
