Prepare Release

When preparing a release, follow these steps:

1. Fetch tags and identify the last release

bash
git fetch --tags
git tag --sort=-creatordate | head -5

2. Get commits since the last release

bash
git log --oneline <last-tag>..HEAD

3. Read current files

Read these files to understand current state:

  • CHANGELOG.md - to understand the format and existing entries
  • pyproject.toml - to get current version
  • ui/package.json - to get current UI version

4. Update CHANGELOG.md

  • Add a new version section at the top (below the # Changelog header)
  • Organize changes into categories:
    • Breaking Changes - API changes that require user action
    • New Features - New functionality
    • Internal Improvements - Refactoring, tests, tooling
  • Use bold headers for each change group
  • Use bullet points for details
  • If there was an "Unreleased" section, rename it to the previous version

5. Bump versions

Update the version string in:

  • pyproject.toml - the version field under [project]
  • ui/package.json - the "version" field

Use semantic versioning:

  • Patch (0.0.x) for bug fixes
  • Minor (0.x.0) for new features
  • Major (x.0.0) for breaking changes

6. Summary

After completing, summarize what was updated:

  • New version number
  • Key changes added to changelog
  • Files modified
