# Releasing
Releases are automated via [release-plz](https://release-plz.dev/).
## How it works
1. Push commits to `main` using [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/)
- `feat:` → minor version bump
- `fix:` → patch version bump
- `feat!:` or `BREAKING CHANGE:` → major version bump
2. release-plz automatically creates/updates a release PR with:
- Version bump in Cargo.toml
- Updated CHANGELOG.md
3. When you merge the release PR:
- release-plz creates a git tag
- The tag triggers the release workflow (build, publish to crates.io, update homebrew)
## Manual override
To force a specific version, edit `Cargo.toml` manually in the release PR before merging.
