Developing package releases

The commits on the development branch of each version will be packaged and uploaded to Test PyPI.

The package name generated by the development branch is x.y.z.rc, where is the number of commits that differ from the most recent release.

• For example, after the release of 2.3.4, two commits were submitted on the 2.3 branch. The version number of the latest commit of 2.3 branch is 2.3.5.rc2.

• For example, after the release of 2.3.4, 10 commits were submitted on the master branch. The version number of the latest commit of master branch is 2.4.0.rc10.

To install the package on Test PyPi, you need to append --extra-index-url after pip, for example:

$ python3 -m pip install --extra-index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ pymilvus==2.1.0.dev66
