RFE: is it possible to start making github releases?🤔

[kloczek]

Is it possible next time on release new version make the github release to have entry on https://github.com/okken/pytest-check/releases? 🤔

I'm asking because only on make gh release is spread notification about new release to those who have set watch->releases.
My automation process those notification trying make preliminary automated upgrade of building packages which allow save some time on maintaining packaging procedures.

More about gh releases is possible to find on
https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/releasing-projects-on-github/managing-releases-in-a-repository
https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-release

I see no reason why it wouldn't be possible.
However, I have no current plans to start using releases. Labels seem sufficient.
If you or your company would benefit from this project using releases, please consider sponsoring the project.

GH releases have only information consequences.
You can add own comment or other assets (like dist tar ball) however most of the maintainers are creating GH release with empty comment because email subject always contains info about git tag on top of which GH release is created.

Tagging is not causing that notifications ae send to those who have set watch->release.

I'll look into it.

Thank you 👍 😄

Just did a manual release.
I'll leave this issue open though, to remind me to think about automating it.

And it works .. just checked and my automation was able process email notification performing preliminary automated upgrade rpm package.
Thank you very much 👍 😄
