Automated Release System Now Live! 🚀
We’re excited to announce that QuizWhiz now has a fully automated release system powered by GitHub Actions! This means faster updates, better documentation, and more consistent releases.
What’s New?
🤖 Automated Workflows
Our new GitHub Actions workflow automatically:
- Detects version changes in the QuizWhiz codebase
- Updates the README with current version information
- Creates GitHub releases with detailed changelogs
- Generates blog posts for each new version
- Tracks file changes and provides diff summaries
📝 Better Documentation
Every release now includes:
- Comprehensive changelogs generated from commit history
- File change summaries showing what was modified
- Version comparison between releases
- Automatic README updates with current version info
🛠️ Developer Tools
We’ve added helpful tools for managing releases:
- Version update script (
scripts/update-version.js) - Package.json for proper Node.js integration
- CHANGELOG.md for tracking version history
- Release process documentation
How It Works
The automation is triggered whenever:
- Changes are pushed to the
quizwhiz/directory - The version number in
js/main.jsis updated - A manual workflow trigger is activated
When a version change is detected, the system:
- ✅ Extracts the new version number
- ✅ Generates a changelog from recent commits
- ✅ Creates a file diff summary
- ✅ Updates the README with version info
- ✅ Creates a GitHub release
- ✅ Generates this blog post
