Year end cleanup

View demo run

Try it yourself

1. Grab this branch locally: gh pr checkout 611
2. Open up release-scripts/year-end-cleanup.ipynb.
3. Run the notebook and enter in 2025 when the year input dialogue prompts you.
4. See the magic happen:

• New 2025 directory created
• 2025 releases moved into that new directory
• New 2025-releases.qmd page created with the moved releases as listings

• New accordion folder for 2025 in "About > Releases"

Before	After

• In _quarto.yml the # CURRENT-YEAR-END-MARKER will be moved to above your 2025 releases but BELOW the fake 2026 release

Before	After

• Resolution of any broken absolute links to the moved release pages
  
• Notebook will returns a list of relative filepaths within the moved release pages that may need to be adjusted — I added some just for funsies!
  
• Notebook shows you the list of files to be committed, omitting the changes in the release-scripts folder

• A preview using Quarto will run

Generate release notes

I ran the new release notebook and Make command.

• Both times I used the following release tags:
  • https://github.com/validmind/frontend/releases/tag/v1.27.17 (Entered twice)
  • https://github.com/validmind/documentation/releases/tag/v2.6.7
  • https://github.com/validmind/documentation/releases/tag/v2.5.25
  • https://github.com/validmind/validmind-library/releases/tag/v2.6.7
• You can see it automatically appended the new releases to index.qmd and got rid of the oldest release making the section uniform!

• And it also automagically appends our single-sourced "How to upgrade" at the bottom of the release files!
