• Set the nightly version in the CHANGELOG.md and the latest nightly engine version in the config.json.
• Perform the build and release steps
• Remove old nightlies, keeping NIGHTLIES_TO_KEEP (20) nightly builds

Note that the engine version also needs to be updated in src/rust/ide/src/controller/project.rs

Ok, I can fix #1359 as well. Is there a way I can embed the JSON file during the Rust compilation?

I think fixing #1359 is a prerequisite for making automated updates of the engine version work.

You can embed the string with this: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/macro.include_str.html
But you then need to use serde to parse and deserialize the string.

include_str in std - Rust

Includes a UTF-8 encoded file as a string.
