Mendon Kissling b36444f5d9 docs: add versioning (#12218)
* fix: nightly now properly gets 1.9.0 branch (#12215)

before it was attempting to pull release-notes as letters are alphanumerically after numbers when we sort -V then grab tail
now we only look at branch names that follow the pattern '^release-[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$'

* docs: add search icon (#12216)

Follow these best practices when submitting a template to Langflow.
For template formatting examples, see [`/starter_projects`](https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow/tree/main/src/backend/base/langflow/initial_setup/starter_projects) in the Langflow repository.
## Create a PR to submit your template
Follow these steps to submit your template:
1. Fork the [Langflow repository](https://github.com/langflow-ai/langflow) on GitHub.
2. On your fork, add your `template.json` file to `/starter_projects`.
3. Include the [required items for template submission](#required-items-for-template-submission).
4. Create a Pull Request (PR) from your fork to the main Langflow repository.
5. Include a screenshot of your template in the PR.
The Langflow team will review your PR, offer feedback, and, if approved, merge the template.
## Required items for template submission
Include the following items and follow these guidelines when submitting your template.
### Name
The template name must be concise and contain no more than three words.
Capitalize only the first letter of each word.
For example: **Blog Writer** or **Travel Planning Agent**.
### Description
A brief, informative description that is shown in the visual editor to help users understand the template's purpose and use cases.
For example:
```json
"description": "Auto-generate a customized blog post from instructions and referenced articles.",
```
### Icons
Use icons from the [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/icons/) icon library.
### Flow
Use only <Icon name="Component" aria-hidden="true" /> **Core components** and <Icon name="Blocks" aria-hidden="true" /> **Bundles**.
Don't use custom components that aren't part of the Langflow codebase.
Include brief README, quickstart, or other essential details in a <Icon name="StickyNote" aria-hidden="true"/> **Note**. Notes accept Markdown syntax.
For example:
```text
