Fix #5: read live NUMERICUPDOWN/TRACKBAR value in @FORMGET; bump to v1.1.2

- @FORMGET value on NUMERICUPDOWN/TRACKBAR now reads the live control's
  current value via the GUI thread (falling back to the stored
  descriptor property when not realized), instead of returning the
  initial value. Matches the existing DATETIMEPICKER read path. (issue #5)
- Release workflow now publishes a stably-named FormCast.zip alongside
  FormCast-v<tag>.zip so the version-independent
  releases/latest/download/FormCast.zip URL resolves to the latest release.
- Bump version to 1.1.2 and add CHANGELOG entry.

+## [1.1.2] -- 2026-06-01
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **NUMERICUPDOWN and TRACKBAR value get**: `@FORMGET` for the `value`
+  property now reads the live control's current value instead of the
+  initial descriptor value, so changes the user makes in the form are
+  reflected. (issue #5)
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Release zip**: the release workflow now publishes an identically
+  named `FormCast.zip` alongside the versioned `FormCast-v<tag>.zip`, so
+  the version-independent
+  `releases/latest/download/FormCast.zip` URL resolves to the latest
+  release.
