Vox Pupuli Changelog - New Release process Edit

Published on Feb 4, 2025 by bastelfreak.

After a lot of work, we’ve a new GitHub workflow in place. It can automatically:

  • bump the metadata.json to the next patchlevel
  • Or you provide the desired version number, then metadata.json will be bumped to it
  • Afterwards the CHANGELOG.md will be updated
  • REFERENCE.md will be updated if required
  • A pull request will be created
  • GitHub attaches the skip-changelog label

So people don’t have to use a local container or Ruby installation to prepare a release. However, it’s still possible to generate everything locally and we intend to keep it that way.

The new workflow is documented at https://voxpupuli.org/docs/releasing_version/
