prepare-flet-release

name	prepare-flet-release
description	Use when asked to prepare new Flet release by bumping versions and author release notes.

Inputs

• Previous Flet version from repo tags.
• Whether it's minor or major release.

Related Skills

Always use flet-deprecation during release prep to audit deprecations for the target version. Also use it when release prep includes:

• adding new deprecations in this release,
• removing APIs whose delete_version equals this release version,
• auditing changelog entries that mention deprecations/removals.

Use write-changelog-entry for drafting or refining individual changelog items. That skill is the source of truth for item wording, scope selection, and what should or should not be mentioned in a single entry.

Steps

• Take latest Flet release version from the repo and increment third (patch) digit to get the next version if it's a minor release or second (minor) digit if it's a major release.
• Pull the latest main and create a new branch named prepare-release-{new_version} from main.
• Set new version in packages/flet/pubspec.yaml.
• Run pub get in /client dir to refresh pubspec.lock with new version.
• Add new entries into packages/flet/CHANGELOG.md and /CHANGELOG.md from the git log since the last release.
  • Use write-changelog-entry for every individual item.
  • Build the candidate set from relevant commits, PRs, and issues since the last release.
