Release

Releases a new minor version: increments the middle digit of the semver and resets the patch digit to 0 (e.g. 0.1.2 → 0.2.0).

Steps

1. Determine next version

Read pyproject.toml for version = "X.Y.Z". Next version is X.(Y+1).0.

2. Update version

Edit pyproject.toml: set version = "X.(Y+1).0".

3. Update CHANGELOG.md

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

## X.(Y+1).0 — YYYY-MM-DD

### New features
...

### Improvements
...

### Infrastructure / Documentation (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 ## New features or equivalent.

5. Commit and tag

git add pyproject.toml CHANGELOG.md RELEASE.md
git commit -m "Release vX.(Y+1).0: <one-line summary>"
git tag -a vX.(Y+1).0 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
