This rule helps us avoid tying in too closely to Django’s undocumented internals.


## Releasing `django-stubs`

1. Open a pull request that updates `setup.py`, `ext/setup.py` and `README.md`
(anyone can open this PR, not just maintainers):

- Version number `major.minor.patch` is formed as follows:

`major.minor` version must match newest supported Django release.

`patch` is sequentially increasing for each stubs release. Reset to `0` if `major.minor` was updated.

- Update the `version=` value within `setup(...)` call in **both** `setup.py` files. The versions must be in sync.
- Update `django-stubs-ext>=` dependency in root `setup.py` to the same version number.
- Add a new row at the top of ['Version compatibility' table in README.md](README.md#version-compatibility).
- Use pull request title "Version x.y.z release" by convention.

2. Ensure the CI succeeds. A maintainer must merge this PR. If it's just a version bump, no need
to wait for a second maintainer's approval.

3. A maintainer must [сreate a new GitHub release](https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs/releases/new):

- Under "Choose a tag" enter the new version number. Do **not** use `v` prefix.
- Click "Generate release notes".
- Look for merged PRs with the ['release notes reminder' label](https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3A%22release+notes+reminder%22)
and move them to a separate section at the top, so that they stand out. Remove the label from PRs.
- Delete all release notes lines containing `by @pre-commit-ci` or `by @dependabot`, as these
are irrelevant for our users.

Haven't done this for the last few releases. It's an additional manual step, but IMO release notes are too noisy if these are included.


4. Once you feel brave enough, click "Publish release".

5. Check that the [release workflow](https://github.com/typeddjango/django-stubs/actions/workflows/release.yml) succeeds.
