Releasing

Tagging a version

We use calendar versioning (CalVer) with the format: YYYY.MM.X where X is incremented depending on how many releases have already occurred in the same year and month. For example, if the most recent release is the first release from March of 2023 it would be 2023.3.0, the next release (on any day in that month) would be 2023.3.1.

Check the latest tag with git (or just visit the GitHub repository tags list):

$ git fetch --all --tags
$ git describe --tags $(git rev-list --tags --max-count=1)
2023.3.0

Create a new tag that follows our CalVer convention (using 2023.3.0 example above, we write the next tag accordingly):

$ git tag -a -m "2023.3.1" 2023.3.1

Push the tag to GitHub (assuming origin points to the dask-contrib/dask-histogram remote):

$ git push origin 2023.3.1

Making the release

After pushing the tag, GitHub actions will take care of uploading the wheel and sdist to PyPI. Please go to the Releases page on the GitHub repository and Draft a new release associated with the tag.
