New release post 19.2.0

[hmaarrfk]

Recent updates have allowed for the use of a towncrier.toml file that doesn't conflict with pyproject.toml which triggers special pip behavior.

It would be nice to be able to use this.

A 20.XX release would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

I would also appreciate a new release for the sake of the template = "towncrier:<bundled>" feature added in 3d01a19.

[hmaarrfk]

Sorry for bumping this request, but any news on this?

[altendky]

Aside from a release, I have asked a couple times in IRC about the review etc policies here. I'll check on the maillist now too.

Hey, I'm joining the request in this PR.
I would love to see a new release of Towncrier being released. Really want to start integrating it into my CI/CD process.

If help is needed in review/implementing new features, let me know and I'll give a hand!

[altendky]

For awhile I had good momentum so I had planned to just finish out the rest of the stuff I was interested in before release, but the progress has slowed down. I'll look back at doing a release soon without waiting for those other bits.

[altendky]

Welp, we're failing to get it done quickly but we are still doing stuff over in #313.

[hmaarrfk]

Thanks, i periodically check to see if i should delete my hacked version. Glad to see that you are simplifying the scope!

[altendky]

Well, kinda... :| Now we've fallen into the 'define and automate the release process before releasing instead of after' hole. Lemme see where everything's at...

[hmaarrfk]

i guess i read too quickly ^_^

[hmaarrfk]

I'm going to say, that since you have CIs for testing, releasing a pure python package manually is not the end of the world. You could even distribute it as source....

[altendky]

Agreed. It is a team effort here with multiple opinions. But, I did make a work around for one of the hang ups and that got approved and merged. I need to catch up #315. After that, the checklist in #313 looks pretty free flowing.

Regardless, this is certainly frustrating for you and others. I'm sorry for the hassle. With a little luck this will be less painful in the future. (and maybe next time I'll actually get the bits I wanted fixed and added included in the release :])

[altendky]

Or maybe I already updated #315 three days ago and forgot amidst everything else... Anyways, looking now.

[hmaarrfk]

i totally understand.

I just gave up on getting some of my automation "perfect" last week so I figured I would give a friendly nudge.

[altendky]

Nudges are certainly appropriate. :]

21.3.0rc1 is out. Maybe we can hit a 1 week RC this time. :]

[hmaarrfk]

just tried it out, seems to work for me :D

[altendky]

19.9.0 and 21.3.0 are both available on PyPI. *phew* Thanks for all the patience here and my apologies for the hassle associated with it.
