Releases¶
Release schedule¶
bpython does not have a set release cycle. The developers will decide together when the time is ripe to release a version. For information what happens after the decision is made to make a release you should read the ‘Release Path’ section.
Release Path¶
After it is decided to release a new version of bpython the following checklist is followed:
The repository is frozen, nobody pushes until the version is built.
Bob (Authors) makes a tarball of the new version and sends it to Simon (Authors) who will host it on the bpython website.
The package is then downloaded by all of the people who like to test it.
Everybody checks if there are no great problems:
Version numbers correct?
CHANGELOG is correct?
AUTHORS?
After everybody says ‘yes’ the website and PyPI are updated to point to this new version.
Simon (Authors) also checks if all numbers on the website have been updated.
24 hours later package maintainers could update their stuff.
