Backward compatibility

In order to improve the ergonomics, the code may be re-factored and a few method calls may be re-designed. As a consequence, the backward compatibility of the library is not guaranteed. Therefore, the version of quetzal used for a project should be specified in its requirements.

https://pypi.org/project/quetzal-transport/

pip install quetzal-transport

poetry run python -W ignore -m unittest discover

Deploying

1. change the version in pyproject.toml

[tool.poetry]
name = "quetzal-transport"
version = "3.1.1"

2. edit CHANGELOG.md with the changes

## [3.1.1] (2026-01-15)
## changes
* some changes

2. create a tag matching the version (starting with v)

git tag -a v3.1.1 -m 'description'

3. push the tag

git push origin v3.1.1

that's it. A Github action will

• build
• create a release
• update the package on pipy.
