Release new versions more frequently

Hello :)

AFAIK most projects use the latest tagged version of mozjpeg. Because mozjpeg hasn't released an update in quite a while, all of these projects are missing out on ~1.5 years of improvements in both mozjpeg and libjpeg-turbo. Examples: sharp, homebrew, slackware, winlib.

I even found a case where libjpeg-turbo was chosen instead of mozjpeg because the latter seemed outdated. I would hate to see that become a trend.

Would it be possible for you to release newer versions more frequently? If you could do a release approximately every 6 months, then I think that would be completely fine.

Thank you! And please let me know if I'm missing something here.

For a long time now I've been using MozJPEG exclusively via the Rust crate, so I forgot to update release tags in this repo.

I see. Hopefully we'll all be using Rust crates one day. Until then, thanks for updating the tags!
