New policy regarding package edits #2671
Description
Starting today, minor package edits without a version bump will no longer be accepted. This change should not affect you if you don't maintain any Typst package or don't plan to.
So far, it was possible to make PR to fix small mistakes in your READMEs, manuals, or package manifests directly in a previously published version. This was convenient to quickly fix a small typo or outdated version number that wasn't caught during review.
However, this meant that packages were not fully reproducible, as discussed here. To make it easier to ship packages with external package managers — such as Nix — and more generally to be able to check that a package archive contains the expected files using a checksum, we decided to remove this exception. Any change to a package will now have to be part of a new release.
