@kv2019i let's not forget to actually add a 'tag' for this branch so that version shown in dmesg is correct. I think we forgot that for stable-v2.4

@dbaluta Thanks, now fixed. I also added it to the checklist so the next person doing releases remembers to do this as well. I do hate this mechanism to set version numbers from git tags. ;)

Thanks @marc-hb . Fixed the template to use ISO weeks, so we don't have to rely on being lucky in future releases.

SOF 2.5 is out https://github.com/thesofproject/sof/releases/tag/v2.5 ! All issues tagged to v2.5 are either done or rescheduled to a later release, so this checklist can be considered complete and closing the item.
