       This component of DocKnot releases a distribution tarball (normally created by "docknot dist" or
       App::DocKnot::Dist), maintains a software distribution directory, and updates a version and release date
       database.

release()
           Copy the distribution tarball (in multiple formats, with PGP signatures) into a release area, updates
           symlink pointing to the latest version, and move any old release to an archive area.

           If "versions" is set in the global configuration file, updates the .versions file found at that  path
           with the new release version and release date.  See App::DocKnot::Spin::Versions for more information
           about .versions files.
