Releasing a new version

only admins and maintainers can release new versions

Releasing a new version

Find the current version, and use semver to decide the new version:

Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

• MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes
• MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner
• PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes

Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

2. update the addon version in bqt/init.py, and the package version in setup.py
3. Click draft a new release in the top right in releases
4. Click choose a tag, and type the new version in there to create a new tag for it. Click generate release notes, and add a description and/or title for the release if needed. Feel free to leave them blank.
5. click the green 🟩 publish release button, to create the release. This triggers a github action that publishes automatically to pypi: https://pypi.org/project/bqt/

If all went well you now should see a new release

• on github: https://github.com/techartorg/bqt/releases
• the pypi release action should have started, check on it's status in actions
• if the action failed, it's likely because you didn't update the version correctly in the setup.py.
