To create the tag for the release, create `a new release <https://github.com/simonw/datasette/releases/new>`__ on GitHub matching the new version number. You can convert the release notes to Markdown by copying and pasting the rendered HTML into this `Paste to Markdown tool <https://euangoddard.github.io/clipboard2markdown/>`__.
Don't forget to create the release from the correct branch - usually ``main``, but sometimes ``0.64.x`` or similar for a bugfix release.
