Loved by many Rustaceans 🦀

Release-plz makes releasing tokio-console super easy.

As far as I can tell, release-plz (an actual Rust executable running in CI, comes with its own GitHub Action) is best-of-class.

God bless @MarcoIeni for release-plz.

This is a great project to contribute to, it's so incredibly valuable for other maintainers like myself to be able to automate project releases and provide a better experience for our contributors.

Release-plz will automatically run cargo-semver-checks as part of the release process. If you are in the market for a good release manager, you should check this one out; it's awesome.
