Release 5.5.1 #375
Description
This issue serves as a checklist for the release event.
- Secure the CI is green on git
main - Check that dependencies ranges are ok, upgrade if needed (especially wombat.js in openzim.toml)
- Ensure there is no new release on wabac.js and more specifically a change in
fuzzymatcher.tswhich has to be backported inrules/rules.yamlor a change in jsrewriter.ts which has to be backported insrc/zimscraperlib/rewriting/js.py; in any case, update the wabac.js sync commit (commit of the latest wabac.js release reviewed) recorded insrc/zimscraperlib/rewriting/js.pydocstring andrules/rules.yamlheader - Adjust version in
src/zimscraperlib/__about__.pytox.x.xand injavascript/package.jsontox.x.x - Update Github milestone to match the issues that will be released
- Close Github milestone
- Update the Changelog so that it is in line with the content of Github milestone
- Push a tag on Github named
vx.x.x - Create a Github release, pointing to the tag, with the Changelog of this release
- Publish the Github release (this will trigger the CI, if the CI fails and you have to push a minor fix which does not justify to create a new version, you will have to delete the release and re-create it from scratch)
- Check that version is published as a Github release at https://github.com/openzim/python-scraperlib/releases and tagged Latest
- Check that version is published on Pypi at https://pypi.org/project/zimscraperlib/
- Create a new Github milestone with the next version incrementaly (a priori a minor one) — skipped: milestone 5.6.0 already exists
- Create a new Github issue attached to this milestone with this checklist inside — skipped: Release 5.6.0 #371 already exists, checklist unchanged
- Create new
## [Unreleased]section in Changelog (placeholder for future entries) - Adjust version in
src/zimscraperlib/__about__.pyand injavascript/package.jsontox.y.z+1-dev0(next patch a priori ) - Commit and push release and dev-bump commits to
main - Inform #scrapers channel on Slack about the new version — done by user
