Is your feature request related to a problem?
Creating a new release is a manual, multi-step process: updating the version in manifest.json, building the project, packaging the files into a .zip archive, and then manually drafting a new release on GitHub with release notes. This is repetitive and susceptible to human error.
Describe the solution you'd like
-
Create a new GitHub Action workflow that triggers when a new version tag (e.g., v2.2.0) is pushed to the repository.
-
This workflow should automate the entire release process:
-
Read the version number from the tag.
-
Automatically update the version field in manifest.json.
-
Run the build script (npm run build).
-
Package the contents of the dist or build directory into a CodeTranslateAI-vX.X.X.zip file.
-
Create a new Draft Release on GitHub, attaching the generated .zip file as a release asset.
-
(Advanced and Optional) Automatically generate release notes by listing the titles of all pull requests merged since the last release tag.
Additional context
This is a core DevOps improvement that streamlines the release cycle. It saves time, reduces errors, and ensures a consistent release process, which is critical as the project scales.
