-## Automatic Releases
-
-This project uses GitHub Actions to automatically compile and release new versions when PRs are merged to the main branch.
-
-**How it works:**
-- Releases are triggered when a PR is merged to `main` (not on every push)
-- Only releases if C++ source files (`.cpp`, `.h`, `.hpp`, etc.) were changed
-  - README-only changes or other non-code changes won't trigger a release
-- The build must compile successfully before creating a release
-  - If compilation fails, no release is created
-- The release version is automatically incremented at the patch level (e.g., v0.1.0 → v0.1.1, v0.0.5 → v0.0.6)
-- Release notes are generated from commit messages
-  - If you use [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) (e.g., `fix: bug description`, `feat: new feature`), the release notes will be nicely formatted with emojis
-  - Otherwise, the commit message is used as-is
-- The compiled binary (`win-witr.exe`) is attached to each release
-- Only patch versions are auto-released; major (1.0, 2.0) and minor (0.1, 0.2) releases are done manually
-
-**Compilation flags:**
-The automatic builds use Microsoft's C++ compiler (MSVC) with:
-- `/O2` - Maximum optimization for speed
-- `/Ot` - Favor fast code
-- `/GL` - Whole program optimization
-- `/DUNICODE` and `/D_UNICODE` - Unicode support
-- `/std:c++20` - C++20 standard
-
 **Why C++?**
 
 - I don't know crap about Go
