Make Release

Make release

This skill prepares a new release of the web3-ethereum-defi package.

Required inputs

1. Version number - The version string for the new release (e.g., 1.1, 2.0)

Steps

1. Update version in pyproject.toml

Edit the version field in pyproject.toml to the new version number.

2. Update CHANGELOG.md

1. Find the # Current heading in CHANGELOG.md
2. Rename it to # {version} (the new version number)
3. Append today's date in parentheses to every changelog entry in that section that is missing a date
4. Insert a new # Current section at the very top of the file with a single placeholder entry:

# Current

- TODO

# {version}

...existing entries...

3. Create a git commit

Create a commit with the message Preparing a release. Push to the master.

4. Build the package

Run:

poetry build

Verify the build succeeds and the output .tar.gz and .whl filenames contain the correct version number.

5. Prompt the user

After a successful build, tell the user:

Release {version} built successfully. Please upload to PyPI manually.
