The title says just about everything here. Would anyone be able to help me see what I’m missing? I’m new to GitHub but I’m wrapping up work on a set of packages related to neuroimaging files and algorithms that I’d like to submit to the General Registry.

For the current package, Cifti.jl, I’ve upgraded the release tag to 1.0.0, but when I post a new issue per instructions from [this site](https://julialang.org/contribute/developing_package/) I’m still getting an error from the JuliaRegistrator bot:

> Error while trying to register: “Pre-release version not allowed”

My package repo is located here: [https://github.com/myersm0/Cifti.jl](https://github.com/myersm0/Cifti.jl)

The version that matters is that of the Project.toml file, and there you have 1.0.0-DEV. That might be it. Change it to 1.0.0.
