Releasing a new minor version currently requires maintainers to create a new stable version branch and update the version number in the default branch. This process should be automated in the release workflow.

Verification logic is similar to mongo-php-library, but version numbers need to be updated in the default branch:

• Create the new branch for the new version
• After creating a new branch, run ./bin/update-release-version.php to-next-minor-dev to bump to the next minor dev version
• Switch to new branch and continue with release
• Ensure default branch is pushed
