+- New releases are published by going to the [Publish release](https://github.com/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/actions/workflows/build_and_publish_release.yaml) GitHub Action Workflow, and triggering `workflow_dispatch` by clicking on `Run workflow` with `Branch: main`, and specifying the release tag. The draft release for the new proposed release will be generated in the [Releases](https://github.com/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/releases) page, only visible to the maintainers. After waiting for the release build to finish, editing the release notes, and publishing the release, the release will be visible as the latest release.

 ### Backgrounds
 
-Selkies-GStreamer has a highly modularized architecture, and it is composed of components.
+Selkies-GStreamer has a highly modularized architecture, composed of multiple components.
 
 Three mandatory components are required to run Selkies-GStreamer: the [standalone or distribution-provided build of GStreamer](/addons/gstreamer) with the most recent version (currently ≥ 1.22), the [Python component wheel package](/src/selkies_gstreamer) including the signaling server, and the [HTML5 web interface components](/addons/gst-web). Currently, Ubuntu 24.04 (Mint 22), 22.04 (Mint 21), 20.04 (Mint 20) are supported, but other operating systems should also work if using your own GStreamer build of the newest version (contributions for build workflows of more operating systems are welcome).
 
-All three of the components are built and packaged [every release](https://github.com/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/releases). In addition, every latest commit gets built and is made available in container forms [`ghcr.io/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/gstreamer`](https://github.com/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/pkgs/container/selkies-gstreamer%2Fgstreamer), [`ghcr.io/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/py-build`](https://github.com/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/pkgs/container/selkies-gstreamer%2Fpy-build), and [`ghcr.io/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/gst-web`](https://github.com/selkies-project/selkies-gstreamer/pkgs/container/selkies-gstreamer%2Fgst-web).

 If using AMD or Intel GPUs, install its graphics and VA-API drivers, as well as `libva2`. The bundled VA-API driver in the AMDGPU Pro graphics driver is recommended for AMD GPUs and the `i965-va-driver-shaders` or `intel-media-va-driver-non-free` packages are recommended depending on your Intel GPU generation. Optionally install `vainfo`, `intel-gpu-tools`, `radeontop`, or `nvtop` for GPU monitoring.
