Update release-notes.R to bump version fields at release time#1944
Conversation
Extends the release notes script to also update `version` in `_quarto.yml` (to the released version) and `_quarto-prerelease-docs.yml` (to the next prerelease). This automates the version bump that was previously a manual step, ensuring the `prerelease-docs-url` shortcode resolves blog post links correctly after merge to main.

tools/release-notes.Rto automatically updateversionin both_quarto.ymland_quarto-prerelease-docs.ymlduring the release process.Context
PR #1939 added a
versionfield to these files for theprerelease-docs-urlshortcode, which compares the version argument to_quarto.ymlversionto decide whether blog links go to quarto.org or prerelease.quarto.org. For this to work on main,_quarto.ymlversionmust be bumped at release time.Since
release-notes.Rruns on the prerelease branch, the version bump propagates to main when prerelease is merged.What this does
At the end of the script, after updating the download listings:
_quarto.ymlversion→ released version (e.g.'1.9')_quarto-prerelease-docs.ymlversion→ next prerelease (e.g.'1.10')This replaces what was previously a manual step in the release checklist. A companion PR to quarto-cli updates the release checklist accordingly.
