+Releases are automated with [release-please](https://github.com/googleapis/release-please): every push to `master` maintains a release pull request that bumps the version and updates `CHANGELOG.md` from the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) since the last release. Merging that pull request tags the release, publishes it on GitHub, and uploads the distributions to PyPI via OIDC trusted publishing.
