Building/releasing

To build and publish a release, follow these steps:

Bump the version

First, bump the package version with the included make target:

make bumpversion bump=patch

The above invocation bumps the "patch" version of a semantic version number ("x" in "1.2.x"). Other valid version types are "major" and "minor". The version is bumped by modifying source files that contain the version number, creating a new commit that includes those modifications, then tagging that commit with the new version. The new commit and tag are then pushed to the upstream repository.

Building & Releasing

Packages are build and distributed via Github Actions as soon as a tag is pushed to the remote repository which is taken care of by the bumpversion command.

Developing

You'll need to have Maturin installed on your machine. Create a virtual environment, and then you can do:

$ pip install maturin
$ maturin develop

to install the dependencies. You may need to specify the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable to your version of MacOS.

Run the tests

Running make test_all will run all the tests.
