[Jprogramming] New Github addon update

[John Baker]

After adding the required FOLDER and resetting the minimum RELEASE I managed to trigger a JAL update from the new GitHub repos. Incrementing the VERSION for commits is critical.  

The move to GitHub will expose J code to a much wider audience and foster better collaboration. I’d urge all addon authors to try out the new process.
