How to release

Before the release

Simple checklist on how to make releases for tokenizers.

  • Freeze master branch.
  • Run all tests (Check CI has properly run)
  • If any significant work, check benchmarks:
    • cd tokenizers && cargo bench (needs to be run on latest release tag to measure difference if it's your first time)
  • Run all transformers tests. (transformers is a big user of tokenizers we need to make sure we don't break it, testing is one way to make sure nothing unforeseen has been done.)
    • Run all fast tests at the VERY least (not just the tokenization tests). (RUN_PIPELINE_TESTS=1 CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=-1 pytest -sv tests/)
    • When all fast tests work, then we can also (it's recommended) run the whole transformers test suite.
      • Rebase this PR. This will create new docker images ready to run the tests suites with tokenizers from the main branch.
      • Wait for actions to finish
      • Rebase this PR This will run the actual full test suite.
      • Check the results.
  • If any breaking change has been done, make sure the version can safely be increased for transformers users (tokenizers version need to make sure users don't upgrade before transformers has). link For instance tokenizers>=0.10,<0.11 so we can safely upgrade to 0.11 without impacting current users
  • Then start a new PR containing all desired code changes from the following steps.
  • You will Create release after the code modifications are on master.

Rust

  • tokenizers (rust, python & node) versions don't have to be in sync but it's very common to release for all versions at once for new features.
  • Edit Cargo.toml to reflect new version
  • Edit CHANGELOG.md:
    • Add relevant PRs that were added (python PRs do not belong for instance).
    • Add links at the end of the files.
  • Go to Releases
  • Create new Release:
    • Mark it as pre-release
    • Use new version name with a new tag (create on publish) vX.X.X.
    • Copy paste the new part of the CHANGELOG.md
  • 鈿狅笍 Click on Publish release. This will start the whole process of building a uploading the new version on crates.io, there's no going back after this
  • Go to the Actions tab and check everything works smoothly.
  • If anything fails, you need to fix the CI/CD to make it work again. Since your package was not uploaded to the repository properly, you can try again.

Python

  • Edit bindings/python/setup.py to reflect new version.
  • Edit bindings/python/py_src/tokenizers/__init__.py to reflect new version.
  • Edit CHANGELOG.md:
    • Add relevant PRs that were added (node PRs do not belong for instance).
    • Add links at the end of the files.
  • Go to Releases
  • Create new Release:
    • Mark it as pre-release
    • Use new version name with a new tag (create on publish) python-vX.X.X.
    • Copy paste the new part of the CHANGELOG.md
  • 鈿狅笍 Click on Publish release. This will start the whole process of building a uploading the new version on pypi, there's no going back after this
  • Go to the Actions tab and check everything works smoothly.
  • If anything fails, you need to fix the CI/CD to make it work again. Since your package was not uploaded to the repository properly, you can try again.
  • This CI/CD has 3 distinct builds, Pypi(normal), conda and extra. Extra is REALLY slow (~4h), this is normal since it has to rebuild many things, but enables the wheel to be available for old Linuxes

Node

  • Edit bindings/node/package.json to reflect new version.
  • Edit CHANGELOG.md:
    • Add relevant PRs that were added (python PRs do not belong for instance).
    • Add links at the end of the files.
  • Go to Releases
  • Create new Release:
    • Mark it as pre-release
    • Use new version name with a new tag (create on publish) node-vX.X.X.
    • Copy paste the new part of the CHANGELOG.md
  • 鈿狅笍 Click on Publish release. This will start the whole process of building a uploading the new version on npm, there's no going back after this
  • Go to the Actions tab and check everything works smoothly.
  • If anything fails, you need to fix the CI/CD to make it work again. Since your package was not uploaded to the repository properly, you can try again.

Testing the CI/CD for release

If you want to make modifications to the CI/CD of the release GH actions, you need to :

  • Comment the part that uploads the artifacts to crates.io, PyPi or npm.
  • Change the trigger mechanism so it can trigger every time you push to your branch.
  • Keep pushing your changes until the artifacts are properly created.
