repository's commits since the previous release of the same kind (newest 40). iso-2 takes the same text from the GitHub
release for the mirror's release (one source), without the badge line, and adds the checksum line. The old hand-written
"## CachyOS with Steamify Live ISO" section in CHANGELOG.md is no longer used.
- **Release title:** `CachyOS <base> with Steamify <version> (<YYYY.MM.DD> UTC)` (dev: `(test build <date> UTC)`), the same on GitHub
