title: How to list the releases of a repository?
body: <p>Can the GitHub API return a list of repository's releases, along with the date each release was created?</p>
  
  <p>The "releases" API is acting unexpectedly, e.g. 0 releases for rails:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt; curl https://api.github.com/repos/rails/rails/releases
  [
  
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Additionally, is there a way to know if a release is alpha, beta or stable?</p>
