Patch Release

Releases a new patch version: increments the last digit of the semver (e.g. 0.3.0 → 0.3.1).

Steps

1. Determine next version

Read pyproject.toml for version = "X.Y.Z". Next version is X.Y.(Z+1).

2. Update version

Edit pyproject.toml: set version = "X.Y.(Z+1)".

3. Update CHANGELOG.md

Prepend a new section at the top (after the # Changelog heading) for the new version:

## X.Y.(Z+1) — YYYY-MM-DD

### Bug fixes
...

### Improvements (if applicable)
...

Summarise commits since the previous tag:

git log vX.Y.Z..HEAD --oneline

4. Update RELEASE.md

Replace the entire contents of RELEASE.md with only the body of the new changelog entry (the sections under the new version heading). No top-level header — start directly with ## Bug fixes or equivalent.

5. Commit and tag

git add pyproject.toml CHANGELOG.md RELEASE.md
git commit -m "Release vX.Y.(Z+1): <one-line summary>"
git tag -a vX.Y.(Z+1) HEAD -m "<same one-line summary>"
git push origin main --follow-tags

The tag must point to HEAD (the commit that includes the workflow in .github/workflows/release.yml), otherwise GitHub Actions won't fire.

What happens next

Pushing the tag triggers:

• release.yml → creates a GitHub release with auto-generated notes
• publish.yml → publishes to PyPI via OIDC trusted publisher
