Make release

This skill prepares a new release of the web3-ethereum-defi package.

Required inputs

Steps

1. Update version in pyproject.toml

Edit the version field in pyproject.toml to the new version number.

2. Update CHANGELOG.md

1. Find the # Current heading in CHANGELOG.md
2. Rename it to # {version} (the new version number)
3. Append today's date in parentheses to every changelog entry in that section that is missing a date
4. Insert a new # Current section at the very top of the file with a single placeholder entry:

# Current

- TODO

# {version}

...existing entries...

3. Create a git commit

Create a commit with the message Preparing a release. Push to the master.

4. Build the package

Run:

Verify the build succeeds and the output .tar.gz and .whl filenames contain the correct version number.

After a successful build, tell the user:

Release {version} built successfully. Please upload to PyPI manually.
