Prepare release 0.3.0 by donislawdev · Pull Request #23 · donislawdev/BetterWindowsServices

donislawdev · 2026-09-25T09:31:06Z

Closes the changelog for 0.3.0 and raises the product version, so a v0.3.0 tag on the merge commit passes the three tag gates of release.yml.

CHANGELOG.md: everything under [Unreleased] moves into ## [0.3.0] - 2026-09-25, and [Unreleased] is left empty. One line changes: the colour of "Also stop it" was listed under Changed, but the offer itself is new in this release, so it now sits in the Added entry that introduces it.
Directory.Build.props: 0.3.0. bws --version prints bws 0.3.0.
CONTRIBUTING.md: the guide said the version number is not part of any pull request. It is part of this one, because main takes changes only through pull requests and the tag gate compares the tag with the version file. The sentence now says what it meant - a contributed pull request never raises it, the maintainer does in the pull request that prepares a release.

Checked locally: the version gate and the changelog gate, taken from release.yml, pass for v0.3.0. The architecture guards pass (182 of 182). Nothing under packaging/ or .github/ changed since v0.2.0.

The date in the heading is the day of the tag. If the tag moves to another day, the heading moves with it before tagging.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Move everything under [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md into a dated 0.3.0 section and raise the product version to 0.3.0. The "Also stop it" line under Changed describes a colour of an offer that is new in this same release, so it joins the Added entry that introduces the offer.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: The 0.3.0 Added section documents delayed automatic startup, rejection of delayed startup for load-order-group entries, and stopping a running entry as part of the same plan when disabling it; --stop is documented as accepted only with disabled. The “Also stop it” styling detail is no longer in the Added text.
observed — Modified behavior in CHANGELOG.md: The Changed section’s note that “Also stop it” is drawn in red like “Force stop...” was removed.
observed — Modified behavior in Directory.Build.props: The version-history comment adds the owner’s 0.3.0 decision dated 2026-09-25, and the shared <Version> property changes from 0.2.0 to 0.3.0.
