Issue with Automatic1111 Version 1.8.0 Zip File Showing as 1.8.0-RC

[hotfreshmilk]

Dear Automatic1111 Developer Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently downloaded the version 1.8.0 zip file of your software, expecting to enjoy the latest updates. However, after extracting the files and running the program, I noticed an inconsistency in the version indication. The console reports the version as 1.8.0-RC rather than the expected 1.8.0.

To ensure this was not a singular occurrence, I re-downloaded the zip file on March 4th, 2023, at 19:50 (Thai time) and encountered the same issue. The version still appeared as 1.8.0-RC. Interestingly, when I opted to use git clone to obtain the software directly from the repository, the version correctly displayed as 1.8.0 without the RC tag.

This inconsistency might cause some confusion among users regarding whether they are using the release candidate or the final version of the software. I wanted to bring this to your attention in case it was an oversight in the versioning or distribution process.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to developing such a useful tool. I look forward to your response and any potential solutions or clarifications you might provide regarding this versioning discrepancy.

Best regards,
