Getting this error on startup about books HOT 4 OPEN

Thank you for your report.

This is caused by an error we are having to generate the next release we are going to publish soon. This is related to the automatic updates and you can ignore this error.

It's not clear how to exclude draft releases from the update checks : https://www.electron.build/auto-update

@mildred I think if we could use the alpha/beta channels for draft releases (https://www.electron.build/tutorials/release-using-channels.html), it might a quicker/easier way to solve the issue.

I'm not too sure on this, but I've been thinking about adding in an option to choose the different release tracks if users wanted to do that. However, let me know your thoughts on this!

I'm not sure this is possible, because during the time a release is built, it starts as a draft release without assets, and then assets are created.

alpha and beta channels require adding -alpha or -beta in the release name, but say we are releasing the next release v0.21.0 it would mean creating first the v0.21.0-beta, and then rename the tag, but Git tags are not really meant to be renamed. And the version name needs to be renamed in package.json.
