This alpha release closes the 0.7.0-alpha line before development moves to 0.7.1-alpha.0. It focuses on release reliability, public project metadata, automated pull request maintenance, clearer repository documentation, and cleaner GitHub Release notes.
Highlights
- Closes the
0.7.0-alphaline; follow-up development is expected to continue on0.7.1-alpha.0. - Hardens release preparation by refreshing citation and archive metadata automatically, then validating that public metadata stays aligned with the package version.
- Improves GitHub Release notes generation so manually wrapped changelog prose renders as clean, flowing release text.
- Reduces pull request queue maintenance with automerge branch updates, workflow-safe skips, and clearer pull request metadata requirements.
- Adds post-release automation that can open a separate next-version pull request after the GitHub Release is published.
