For details, see Version Numbering in Docutils Project Policies.
The version identifier docutils.__version__ is defined in docutils/docutils/__init__.py and used in in the following files:
docutils/setup.py docutils/test/functional/expected/* ("Generator: Docutils X.Y[.Z]") docutils/README.txt web/index.txt
You can use the script set_version.sh to change the version identifier:
cd to the "docutils" subdirectory in the repository checkout,
call
../sandbox/infrastructure/set_release.sh <new_version>
where <new_version> is major.minor[.micro][<pre>][.dev].
This also changes __version_info__ in docutils/docutils/__init__.py.
Run the test suite after changing the codebase version to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Warning
Steps in boldface text are not covered by the release script at sandbox/infrastructure/release.sh. "Not covered" means that you aren't even reminded of them.
Note
This document does not cover branching and tagging, but the release script does.
Announce
On the Docutils-develop mailing list, announce that the release is going to be made, update the release notes (consult HISTORY.TXT for important changes) and ask for additions.
Announce the upcoming release at the Sphinx-devel mailing list and ask for testing with Sphinx. (This step can be skipped for bugfix releases and pre-releases.)
Announce the date of the feature freeze – at least a week ahead!
Feature freeze From now on, only bug-fix commits are allowed.
Update the pre-release segment of the version identifier (b, rcN or empty) to match the level of the upcoming release (beta, candidate or final). Ensure docutils.__version_info__ matches the version identifier. (See also How to change the version identifier.)
Announce the check-in freeze date on Docutils-develop – at least a week ahead.
Check-in freeze
for example it was 0.14b.dev and is changed to 0.15
Update the version identifier: Remove the development release segment (.dev) from the version identifier and set docutils.__version_info__.release to True.
Check the version identifier in the following files (should be already correct if set according to How to change the version identifier):
See what sandbox/infrastructure/release.sh can aid
Note
BUG test tarball requires root password, but it is possible to skip this stage interactively, and testing should be done before release.
Close the "Changes Since ..." section in docutils/HISTORY.txt.
Clear/unset the PYTHONPATH environment variable.
Create the release tarball:
Create a new empty directory and cd into it.
Get a clean snapshot of the main tree:
svn export svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/docutils/code/trunk/docutils
or via the [Download Snapshot] button at http://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docutils/
Use setuptools to create the release tarball:
cd docutils python setup.py sdist
Expand and install the release tarball in isolation:
Expand the tarball in a new location, not over any existing files.
Remove the old installation from site-packages (including roman.py, and optparse.py, textwrap.py).
"remove" might fail, see Assumptions and their failure
Install from expanded directory:
cd docutils-X.Y.Z python setup.py install
The "install" command may require root permissions.
Repeat step b) for all supported Python versions.
Run the test suite from the expanded archive directory with all supported Python versions on all available platforms (GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, Windows):
cd test ; python -u alltests.py
Add a directory X.Y.Z (where X.Y.Z is the current version number of Docutils) in the webroot (i.e. the htdocs/ directory). Put all documentation files into it:
cd docutils-X.Y.Z rm -rf build cd tools/ ./buildhtml.py .. cd .. find -name test -type d -prune -o -name \*.css -print0 \ -o -name \*.html -print0 -o -name \*.txt -print0 \ | tar -cjvf docutils-docs.tar.bz2 -T - --null scp docutils-docs.tar.bz2 <username>@shell.sourceforge.net:
Now log in to shell.sourceforge.net and:
cd /home/groups/d/do/docutils/htdocs/ mkdir -m g+rwxs X.Y.Z cd X.Y.Z tar -xjvf ~/docutils-docs.tar.bz2 rm ~/docutils-docs.tar.bz2
Upload the release tarball, release.sh tries with scp.
Access the file release system on SourceForge (Admin interface).
https://sourceforge.net/projects/docutils/files/docutils/
Submit a notification on project news.
For verifying the integrity of the release, download the release tarball (you may need to wait up to 30 minutes), install it, and re-run the test suite.
Register with PyPI (python setup.py register).
(2019-07-21 still ?) Set the download-url so eggs can access older releases.
build wheels:
python setup.py bdist_wheel
This builds wheels by downloading the new release from pypi.
Upload the wheels to PyPI:
twine upload dist/*
Lift the freeze
Set the version identifier and __version_info__.releaselevel in docutils/docutils/__init__.py to mark the repository version as "in development", usually <major>.<minor+1>b.dev (cf. How to change the version identifier).
After a final release, add a new empty section "Changes Since ..." in HISTORY.txt.
Update the web page (web/index.txt):
cd sandbox/infrastructure/ ./docutils-update.local
Running on sf-server no longer works.
set svn version e.g. 0.16b.dev
Run alltests.py with svn version
Send announcement email to:
Add a SourceForge News item, with title "Docutils X.Y.Z released"
Mark as default download for all platforms.
