Release name

Passing -v noble-400 to https://github.com/bigbluebutton/bbb-install/blob/v4.0.x-release/bbb-install.sh will always install the latest released BigBlueButton 4.0 version.

If for some reason you would like to install this specific release, pass -v noble-400-4.0.0-beta.3.

We still recommend using -v noble-400 as this repository is continually updated with each BigBlueButton 4.0 release.
