Variant versions

versions.json contains a list of Semver versions, one per line.

To update versions in versions.json:

./Update-Versions.ps1

To update versions in versions.json, and open a PR for each changed version, and merge successful PRs one after another (to prevent merge conflicts), and finally create a tagged release and close milestone:

$env:GITHUB_TOKEN = 'xxx'
./Update-Versions.ps1 -PR -AutoMergeQueue -AutoRelease

To perform a dry run, use -WhatIf.
