Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
zeal could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it adds a "development release" date to an XML file:

│ │ │ │ │ +    <release date="2022-07-16" version="0.6.2-dev" type="development"/>

Patch attached that simply drops this line.
