The following steps are performed when making a new release - this is mainly
134
136
to form a checklist so @mhammond doesn't forget what to do :)
135
137
138
+ Since build 307 the release process is based on the artifacts created by Github actions.
139
+
140
+ * Ensure CHANGES.txt has everything worth noting. Update the header to reflect
141
+ the about-to-be released build and date, commit it.
142
+
143
+ * Update setup.py with the new build number. Update CHANGES.txt to have a new heading
144
+ section for the next unreleased version. (ie, a new, empty "Coming in build XXX, as yet unreleased"
145
+ section)
146
+
147
+ * Push these changes to github, wait for the actions to complete, then
148
+ download the artifacts from that run.
149
+
150
+ * Upload .whl artifacts to pypi - we do this before pushing the tag because they might be
151
+ rejected for an invalid ` README.md ` . Done via ` py -3.? -m twine upload dist/*XXX*.whl ` .
152
+
153
+ * Create a new git tag for the release.
154
+
155
+ * Update setup.py with the new build number + ".1" (eg, 123.1), to ensure
156
+ future test builds aren't mistaken for the real release.
157
+
158
+ * Make sure everything is pushed to github, including the tag (ie,
159
+ ` git push --tags ` )
160
+
161
+ * Send mail to python-win32
162
+
163
+ ### Older Manual Release Process
164
+
165
+ This is the old process used when a local dev environment was used to create
166
+ the builds. Build 306 was the last released with this process.
167
+
136
168
* Ensure CHANGES.txt has everything worth noting. Update the header to reflect
137
169
the about-to-be released build and date, commit it.
