Release procedure
=================

This document is a checklist for creating a toot release.

Currently the process is pretty manual and would benefit from automatization.

Bump & tag version
------------------

* Update the version number in ``setup.py``
* Update the version number in ``toot/__init__.py``
* Update ``changelog.yaml`` with the release notes & date
* Run ``make changelog`` to generate a human readable changelog
* Commit the changes
* Run ``./scripts/tag_version <version>`` to tag a release in git
* Run ``git push --follow-tags`` to upload changes and tag to GitHub

Publishing to PyPI
------------------

* ``make dist`` to create source and wheel distributions
* ``make publish`` to push them to PyPI

GitHub release
--------------

* `Create a release <https://github.com/ihabunek/toot/releases/>`_ for the newly
  pushed tag, paste changelog since last tag in the description
* Upload the assets generated in previous two steps to the release:
    * source dist (.zip and .tar.gz)
    * wheel distribution (.whl)
