Releasing

Releases are created with the Release and Publish GitHub Actions workflow.

The workflow uses CalVer tags in YYYY.M.D format and can append .N for multiple releases on the same day.

To create a release:

1. Run the workflow from the Actions tab.

2. Optionally provide a CalVer version (for example 2026.6.28).

3. The workflow creates the Git tag, creates a GitHub release, builds with uv, and publishes to PyPI via trusted publishing.

4. The workflow updates djangocms_gh_stats/__init__.py and inserts a new <version> (<YYYY-MM-DD>) section directly below the top changelog section, preserving the unreleased heading.
