On version numbers

The two version numbers (C++ and Python) must match when combined (checked when you build the PyPI package), and must be a valid PEP 440 version when combined.

For example:

#define PYBIND11_VERSION_MAJOR X
#define PYBIND11_VERSION_MINOR Y
#define PYBIND11_VERSION_PATCH Z.dev1

For beta, PYBIND11_VERSION_PATCH should be Z.b1. RC's can be Z.rc1. Always include the dot (even though PEP 440 allows it to be dropped). For a final release, this must be a simple integer. There is also a HEX version of the version just below.

To release a new version of pybind11:

If you don't have nox, you should either use pipx run nox instead, or use pipx install nox or brew install nox (Unix).

• Update the version number

  • Update PYBIND11_VERSION_MAJOR etc. in include/pybind11/detail/common.h. PATCH should be a simple integer.
  • Update the version HEX just below, as well.
  • Update pybind11/_version.py (match above)
  • Run nox -s tests_packaging to ensure this was done correctly.
  • Ensure that all the information in setup.cfg is up-to-date, like supported Python versions.

  • Add release date in docs/changelog.rst.

    • Check to make sure needs-changelog issues are entered in the changelog (clear the label when done).

  • git add and git commit, git push. Ensure CI passes. (If it fails due to a known flake issue, either ignore or restart CI.)

• Add a release branch if this is a new minor version, or update the existing release branch if it is a patch version

  • New branch: git checkout -b vX.Y, git push -u origin vX.Y
  • Update branch: git checkout vX.Y, git merge <release branch>, git push

• Update tags (optional; if you skip this, the GitHub release makes a

  non-annotated tag for you)

  • git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m 'vX.Y.Z release'.
  • git push --tags.

• Update stable

  • git checkout stable
  • git merge master
  • git push

• Make a GitHub release (this shows up in the UI, sends new release notifications to users watching releases, and also uploads PyPI packages). (Note: if you do not use an existing tag, this creates a new lightweight tag for you, so you could skip the above step.) - GUI method: Under releases click "Draft a new release" on the far right, fill in the tag name (if you didn't tag above, it will be made here), fill in a release name like "Version X.Y.Z", and copy-and-paste the markdown-formatted (!) changelog into the description (usually cat docs/changelog.rst | pandoc -f rst -t gfm). Check "pre-release" if this is a beta/RC. - CLI method: with gh installed, run gh release create vX.Y.Z -t "Version X.Y.Z" If this is a pre-release, add -p.

• Get back to work

  • Make sure you are on master, not somewhere else: git checkout master
  • Update version macros in include/pybind11/detail/common.h (set PATCH to 0.dev1 and increment MINOR).
  • Update _version.py to match
  • Run nox -s tests_packaging to ensure this was done correctly.
  • Add a spot for in-development updates in docs/changelog.rst.
  • git add, git commit, git push

If a version branch is updated, remember to set PATCH to 1.dev1.

If you'd like to bump homebrew, run:

brew bump-formula-pr --url https://github.com/pybind/pybind11/archive/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz

Conda-forge should automatically make a PR in a few hours, and automatically merge it if there are no issues.

Manual packaging

If you need to manually upload releases, you can download the releases from the job artifacts and upload them with twine. You can also make the files locally (not recommended in general, as your local directory is more likely to be "dirty" and SDists love picking up random unrelated/hidden files); this is the procedure:

nox -s build
twine upload dist/*

This makes SDists and wheels, and the final line uploads them.
