Auto build release

[glenrobson]

It would be great if when creating a release it would be possible to build the zip file which can be dropped into Blender to make the plugin work. @vincentmarchetti if you can paste the commands you used to create the extension zip file I will look at creating a github action.

Sorry should have checked slack first:

"This is the command-line I use to build the package on my local system, run with the folder containing blender_manifest.toml
as the working directory
mkdir dist ; blender --command extension build --output-dir dist
this creates the package as dist/blender_iiif_3d_plugin-1.0.0.zip
I would propose setting the version in blender_manifest.toml to something like 0.5.0 for these initial builds.
I also noticed that the workflow in .github/workflows/test_manifolds.yaml also runs
blender --command extension ...
as part of setting up the testing environment."

First build example:

https://github.com/IIIF-Commons/iiif_3d_blender_plugin/actions/runs/16002972047/artifacts/3441821366

which contains:

Todo:

• Fix filename why .zip.zip?
• Make it work with a release
• Look at versioning, where is 1.0.0 version? can we take the version number from the release?

I would assume the version would come from blender_manifest.toml but the version says 0.2.10

iiif_3d_blender_plugin/blender_manifest.toml

Line 5 in 779b7a4

version = "0.2.10"

It looks like blender is creating the expected name:

building: blender_iiif_3d_plugin-0.2.10.zip
complete
created: "dist/blender_iiif_3d_plugin-0.2.10.zip", 1025535

but the build action is messing things up:

Artifact blender_iiif_3d_plugin-1.0.0.zip.zip successfully finalized. Artifact ID 3441821366
Artifact blender_iiif_3d_plugin-1.0.0.zip has been successfully uploaded! Final size is 1019732 bytes. Artifact ID is 3441821366

and actually it looks like its creating a zip of a zip:

zipinfo /Users/gmr/Downloads/blender_iiif_3d_plugin-1.0.0.zip.zip
