This pull request introduces support for beta (pre-release) distributions of the Hookdeck CLI across all major platforms and updates documentation to guide users on installing and using beta releases.

Release and Packaging Improvements:

  • Added prerelease: auto and mode: append to the release section in .goreleaser/linux.yml, .goreleaser/mac.yml, and .goreleaser/windows.yml to automate and differentiate pre-release builds. [1] [2] [3]
  • Updated package and archive naming conventions in .goreleaser/linux.yml and .goreleaser/mac.yml to use hookdeck-beta for beta releases, including dynamic file names and Homebrew formula names. [1] [2]
  • Enhanced descriptions and caveats to clearly indicate beta status and provide support links for beta users in package metadata and Homebrew caveats. [1] [2]

Documentation Updates:

  • Added instructions in README.md for installing beta versions via npm, Homebrew, Scoop, and direct downloads, including links to pre-release assets. [1] [2] [3] [4]
  • Clarified Docker usage for beta releases, including version tagging and the distinction between beta and stable images.
