## 📝 Create Release on GitHub

The code and tag are already pushed. Now create the release on GitHub:

### Method 1: Using GitHub Web Interface (Recommended)

1. **Go to your repository:**
- Visit: https://github.com/rskworld/fraud-detection

2. **Navigate to Releases:**
- Click on "Releases" in the right sidebar
- Or go directly to: https://github.com/rskworld/fraud-detection/releases

3. **Create New Release:**
- Click "Draft a new release" button
- Or click on the tag `v1.0.0` and click "Create release"

4. **Fill Release Details:**
- **Tag version:** Select `v1.0.0` (should already exist)
- **Release title:** `v1.0.0 - Fraud Detection Dataset`
- **Description:** Copy the content from `RELEASE_NOTES.md` or use the template below

5. **Release Description (Copy this):**

```markdown
