Release Process

luatex-cn follows an automated release workflow to ensure compliance with CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) standards.

Development Workflow

Building and testing are powered by l3build:

# Run all Lua unit tests
l3build test

# Install to local TEXMFHOME
l3build install

# Create release bundle (.zip)
l3build bundle

Automated Publishing (CI/CD)

GitHub Actions handles the packaging:

1. Source Sync: The main branch is used for active development.
2. Packaging:
   • Extracts src/, 文档/ (docs), and 示例/ (examples).
   • Translates folders and filenames to English as required by CTAN, using scripts/file_name_translation.json.
   • Generates the standardized directory structure (doc, example, tex).
3. Release Branch: The packaged content is pushed to the ctan branch and published via GitHub Releases.

Versioning

• Version numbers are stored in the root VERSION file.
• Significant changes are recorded in the Changelog.
• We follow Semantic Versioning (SemVer) principles.
