This page documents internal release/versioning steps; it is not required for normal users.

Release & versioning

FoodSpec versions are tracked in __version__ and pyproject.toml. Releases are published to PyPI and tagged on GitHub.

Checklist (see RELEASING.md for details)

• Update version strings and CHANGELOG.
• Run full tests and mkdocs build; ensure benchmarks/CLI smoke tests pass.
• Build wheel/sdist and upload to TestPyPI, then PyPI.
• Tag the release in Git and create a GitHub release with notes and artifacts.

PyPI and GitHub linkage

• The PyPI package and GitHub release tag should match (e.g., v0.x.y).
• Include release notes summarizing changes (features, fixes, docs updates).

For coordination, contact Chandrasekar Subramani Narayan; external contributors should propose release candidates via PR.
