Release

Create a CalVer release with changelog, tag, and GitHub Release.

Version Format

CalVer: YYYY.MM.DD (e.g. 2026.03.12). The user provides the version.

When multiple releases occur on the same day, append a sequential suffix: YYYY.MM.DD.1, YYYY.MM.DD.2, etc. The first release of the day omits the suffix.

Steps

  1. Update package.json — set "version" to the new CalVer version
  2. Run npm install — to update package-lock.json
  3. Update CHANGELOG.md
    • Move contents under [Unreleased] into a new [version] section
    • If [Unreleased] is empty, draft changelog from git log since the last tag
    • Keep [Unreleased] header (empty) above the new version section
    • Follow Keep a Changelog format: ### Added, ### Fixed, ### Changed, ### Removed
  4. Run all checksnpm run typecheck && npm run format && npm run lint:fix && npm run test && npm run build
  5. Commitchore(release): {version}
  6. Tagv{version} (e.g. v2026.03.12)
  7. Pushgit push && git push --tags (confirm with user before pushing to main)
  8. Create GitHub Releasegh release create v{version} --title "{version}" with release notes
    • Title: {version} (v prefix なし、例: 2026.03.17)
    • Tag: v{version} (v prefix あり、例: v2026.03.17)

GitHub Release Notes

Release notes are a concise summary of the major user-facing changes — NOT a copy of the CHANGELOG. The CHANGELOG is the exhaustive, detailed record; the release note is the highlight reel.

  • First, read the last 1-2 releases (gh release view <prev_tag> --json body --jq '.body') and match their length and tone. Recent releases run ~15-25 lines / ~1-2KB. If your draft is several KB, you are pasting the CHANGELOG — cut it down.
  • Summarize, don't transcribe. One short line per notable change. Drop implementation detail, file/symbol names, and PR refs ((#296)) — those live in the CHANGELOG.
  • Lead with what users see. Focus on UI / UX / behavior changes. Minor bug fixes, internal refactors, and renames may be omitted entirely when they don't affect users.
  • Structure: WebApp (user-facing) と Pipeline/CI (developer-facing) に分けて記載する
    • ## WebApp — エンドユーザーに影響する変更 (UI, UX, 表示)
    • ## Pipeline / CI — パイプライン、CI/CD、開発ツール等の変更
    • 各セクション内は ### Added, ### Fixed, ### Changed で分類。該当が無いセクション (例: Pipeline/CI 変更なし) は丸ごと省く
  • Include link to full diff: **Full Changelog**: https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/compare/{prev_tag}...v{version}
  • If this is the first release (no previous tag), use the initial commit as base

Pre-flight Checks

Before starting, verify:

  • Working tree is clean (git status)
  • On the correct branch (usually main)
  • No version references to old version in source files (search for the old version string)
  • __APP_VERSION__ in vite.config.ts reads from npm_package_version (auto-updated)
