Lovely! These tags are kept updated automatically when new minor or patch version are released. The python script in src/docker_python_nodejs handling this is run twice a day on GitHub actions.

Image tags are built for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms, except for alpine which is only linux/amd64. See issue #70 for details.
