Announcing GoReleaser v2.9

This release introduces support to Python builds through Poetry and UV!

Let’s dig into some of the news!

Python builds

You can no build Python packages with UV or Poetry. You can run goreleaser init in your Python project, and it should generate the appropriate .goreleaser.yml for you, but, basically, all you need is this:

builds:
  - builder: uv
    buildmode: wheel

You can also change uv to poetry if you want that instead, and you can also add another build instance with buildmode: sdist if you need it.

You can see a full example here, as well as docs for both UV and Poetry.

Other smaller changes

Python builds are the biggest news of this release, but we still put another couple of good improvements in there:

• pro: license checks now properly handle canceled subscriptions;
• pro: custom publishers can now publish MSIs, DMGs, and SBOMs;
• templates: many checksum functions, so you can do things like {{ sha256 .ArtifactPath }};
• ko: you can now pass sbomDir to your Ko configurations;
• winget: you can now set privacy_url and installation_notes;
• fix: GoReleaser will now issue better warnings when your configuration produces many artifacts with the same file path;
