  • Changelog-Driven Releases
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 23 Apr 2024
    My problem with maintaining a changelog during development is it can serve as a source of merge conflicts. Instead, I follow Covnentional Commit style and manually write my changelog entries based on the commits. I have a tool [0] that can show me the relevant commits for a package in my repo and automates the entire release process, including doing sanity checks.

    I also feel like releasing from CI is hard, especially if you have multiple packages in a repo [1], including

    - You can't as easily introspect the process

    - You can't as easily recover from failure

    - Getting a lot of the nuance right, like handling releases concurrent to merging of PRs, is difficult

    - When the workflow is an ever-present "release PR" that you merge when ready has issues with selecting which packages to release and at what version

    I have been considering making a tool to generate changelogs from fragments. Been keeping notes at https://github.com/epage/epage.github.io/issues/23

    You should combine step 1 and 2 with CI. Just tag a version in your git, push to remote and have CI auto build a release for you.

    Use github actions or other setup for other backends.

    Or go nuts with cargo-release.

    I released my first crate that provides a derive macro to easily obtain a name of a current variant in an enum as a string. I did it mostly to learn about procedural macros and the process of releasing a crate. I then found out there is strum which does this and much more. Nonetheless, I learned a lot and I found couple of nice tools like ```cargo-release and git-cliff.

    cargo-release automates the release process for your crate. For example, with clap, all I do is add entries to the CHANGELOG and run cargo release patch and cargo-release takes care of updating files, publishing to crates.io, tagging, and pushing.
