Release Windows 64-bit Build #43

Open mrjbq7 opened 1 week ago

mrjbq7 commented 1 week ago

Probably the most immediately useful thing we could do is release a TA-Lib binary for Windows, built for 64-bit.

Seems to keep tripping people up, and nobody reads the README.

Instructions are here:

@mrjbq7 first release candidates are ready.

It is dist/ta-lib-0.6.0-win64.zip and dist/ta-lib-0.6.0-src.tar.gz

Do not change yet the installation procedure for your users. More automation work on my side to do... and 'dist' will always contain only the release candidate. The released binaries will instead be tag Github assets.

In meantime, it would be great help for you to early test these. Particularly for windows which I have not tested at all.

Another thing, if you have time...

Automation will be done with python and Github actions.

Have a peek at scripts/test-dist.py and scripts/install_tests/python.py, the intent is to verify the ta-lib-python installation steps using the release candidate.

Don't bother for the github action, I am doing these... but you can help greatly by coding your installation steps in install_tests... and call test-dist.py directly to simulate what the CI will do later.

If you make changes, please do it directly in the 'dev' branch (no PR needed). Might want to do a dummy push to verify if there is any permission issues...

As you work on the dev branch do scripts/sync.py once in a while. This should help keeping your local dev up-to-date and less probable to have big merge issues later.
