Quantinuum schemas

Public models that define API boundaries used by Quantinuum. Intended to be used across teams and projects ie. shared. Backwards compatibility and semantic versioning are particularly important in this repo! The "Check Conventional Commits format" workflow will make sure your PRs follow a standard format. For backwards-incompatible changes, please use the conventional ! or BREAKING CHANGE:.

Dependencies

We try to keep the dependencies minimal. However we do need pydantic for validation and pytket for core (serialisable) models.

Making a release

See notes above about conventional commits and versioning.

Once all your code changes are merged onto the main branch using conventional commits, follow these steps to publish.

Update the CHANGELOG

• Update CHANGELOG.md: this is automated.

  Use devenv and the commitizen tool:

  git fetch --tags origin  # make sure your local tags are same as in github
  cz bump --files-only  # --files-only prevents the tool making a git tag
  

  This will use the commit history and modify CHANGELOG.md to include a heading with the new version number and the date. It also updates .cz.toml. The tool automatically decides whether to increment the patch version, minor version or major version.

  If none of the commits since the last version tag would generate a CHANGELOG entry, then you will see NO_COMMITS_TO_BUMP. In this situation,

  >$ # only if you see NO_COMMITS_TO_BUMP... add one to the patch number
  >$ cz bump --files-only x.y.z+1  # !! substitute correct version
  >$ vi CHANGELOG.md  # edit to explain that there are no changes

• If you like, you can manually edit CHANGELOG.md at this point. Consider moving important entries under these headings, or writing under them (see Keep A Changelog):

  • Deprecated
  • Removed
  • Security

• Create a release branch git checkout -b release/vx.y.z

• git add the modifications, then git commit and git push them.

• Create a PR (title: docs: Update CHANGELOG for vx.y.z)

• Ask a colleague to review the changes (should be just CHANGELOG.md and pyproject.toml)

• Squash merge the PR into main

Trigger the release workflow

• Go to github.com and on this repo's home page, click "Create a new release"
• Using the version in the format v1.2.34, click "Choose a tag" and create a new tag
• Click "Generate release notes"
• Release title = v1.2.34. In the "Describe this release" box, copy and paste the new text that was added to CHANGELOG.md in the commit you are releasing.
• Click "Publish release".
• The "Create release" workflow should run automatically.
• Check that the new release is on https://pypi.org/project/quantinuum-schemas/#history
