Release Notes: v0.3.0¶

Release Date: 2026-06-22

Overview¶

VersionConductor v0.3.0 upgrades the GitHub API client to go-github v88, driven by the gogithub v0.13.0 dependency update. This release contains breaking API changes to constructor functions.

Highlights¶

go-github v88 Upgrade - Updated to latest GitHub API client version
Improved Error Handling - All constructors now return errors for better error propagation

Breaking Changes¶

All constructor functions now return (T, error) instead of just T. Code using these functions must be updated to handle the returned error.

Collector Package¶

// Before (v0.2.0)
coll := collector.NewGitHub(token)

// After (v0.3.0)
coll, err := collector.NewGitHub(token)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Merger Package¶

// Before (v0.2.0)
merg := merger.NewGitHub(token)

// After (v0.3.0)
merg, err := merger.NewGitHub(token)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Releaser Package¶

// Before (v0.2.0)
rel := releaser.NewGitHub(token)

// After (v0.3.0)
rel, err := releaser.NewGitHub(token)
if err != nil {
    return err
}

Graph Package¶

// Before (v0.2.0)
builder := graph.NewBuilder(token)
builder := graph.NewBuilderWithConfig(cfg)
cachedBuilder := graph.NewCachedBuilder(token, cache)

// After (v0.3.0)
builder, err := graph.NewBuilder(token)
builder, err := graph.NewBuilderWithConfig(cfg)
cachedBuilder, err := graph.NewCachedBuilder(token, cache)

Migration Guide¶
