Automate version upgrades and changelog synchronization by running a Python script that updates version strings in plugin Python files, READMEs, docs, and root badges simultaneously. It ensures consistent version numbers across all repository surfaces during releases.

Version drift occurs when manual updates miss references scattered across plugin Python modules, READMEs, and documentation. Automated synchronization propagates the new version to all What's New and 最新更新 sections, maintaining consistency and preventing drift.

No external dependencies are needed to sync version numbers. The automation requires only standard Python libraries, allowing you to update version fields in plugin Python modules and READMEs without installing additional packages.

Yes, you can update both English and Chinese changelog sections during a release version bump. The synchronization propagates the new version to What's New and 最新更新 sections across docs, maintaining consistency in both languages.

Verify formatting remains intact by validating diffs after the version string update. The automation checks that all references point to the new version and ensures the formatting of READMEs and documentation surfaces remains undisturbed.

The best way to align version numbers is using an automated script that targets plugin Python files, READMEs, docs mirrors, and root badges at once. This prevents version drift by ensuring every reference points to the new version.
