release-new 0.17.0

logilab's tool to make easy releases on our forge with mercurial

README

This package eases the creation of new releases for a python package versioned with mercurial. It assumes mercurial as vcs and semantic versioning. Also, the version has to be managed by a variable numversion inside a file __pkginfo__.py.

It takes care to :

• update the version in the file __pkginfo__.py (required)
• update the changelog
• create a commit with only this changes
• tag the commit.

The new version, patch, minor or major, depends on the option -r/--release passed as parameter. The auto option reads the commit message and determines the release type according to conventional commit.

The primary use case is to have release-new inside a tox rules for cubicweb cubes.

You can use release-new --preview-changelog or release-new -c to preview the changelog that will be generated.

It does not:

• release to pypi

The release should be done by the CI, see the .gitlab-ci.yml.

It can be installed with pip install release-new.
