- Add continue-on-error to TestPyPI step
- Check if TEST_PYPI_API_TOKEN exists before attempting upload
- Add graceful failure handling with clear messages
- Update docs to explain TestPyPI token configuration
- Clarify that TestPyPI testing is optional
Now the release won't fail if TestPyPI is not configured or upload fails
- Download pre-built wheels from successful CI runs
- Avoids duplicate builds and ensures consistency
- CI artifacts are already tested across all platforms
- Faster release process (no build time)
- Updates release documentation to reflect new flow
This ensures the released packages are exactly what was tested in CI.
- Add ci.yml for continuous integration on every commit
- Test builds on Ubuntu/macOS with Python 3.9/3.10/3.11
- Ensure code quality before any release
- Add release-manual.yml for controlled releases
- Manual trigger prevents accidental releases
- Version validation and tag creation
- Optional TestPyPI testing before production
- Only creates tag after validation passes
- Keep build-and-publish.yml for automated PyPI deployment
- Triggered by new tags (separation of concerns)
- Handles multi-platform wheel building
- Allows retry if PyPI upload fails
- Update RELEASE.md with clear prerequisites and workflow
This setup ensures:
1. Every commit is tested (CI)
2. Releases are deliberate (manual trigger)
3. Failed CI won't create broken tags
4. PyPI publish can be retried independently
