Release tapo-mcp

Automate Rust crate version bumping and changelog updates by using a release workflow that modifies Cargo.toml, formats CHANGELOG.md, commits the changes, and creates an annotated git tag before publishing the GitHub release.

The best way to create a GitHub release with release notes for a Rust crate is to automate the workflow using git and gh CLI, ensuring the release notes are pulled directly from the updated changelog entries.

Yes, you need the gh CLI and Cargo installed to automate Rust crate releases, along with git, because the workflow relies on these tools to bump versions, manage changelog updates, and create GitHub releases.

An automated release workflow handles git tagging and changelog formatting by updating the changelog file with new release information, committing the changes to the repository, and creating an annotated git tag to mark the release version.

Yes, you can use this release automation for deterministic software engineering workflows because it ensures consistent versioning, changelog updates, and standardized GitHub release creation across development cycles.

Your Rust crate release process fails when missing dependencies like gh CLI because the automated workflow requires git, gh CLI, and Cargo to execute version bumping, changelog management, and GitHub release creation successfully.
