Flet Release Announcement

1. Inspect prior release posts for structure

• Read 2-3 recent release posts in /blog.
• Reuse conventions: frontmatter, short intro, highlights bullets, {/* truncate */}, upgrade section, major feature sections, improvements, other changes, conclusion.

2. Ground facts in changelog

• Use the exact release section from CHANGELOG.md or the release branch/tag anchor.
• Do not invent claims, platforms, or options.
• Keep issue/PR links for traceability.

3. Select major vs other items

• Promote 5-8 most substantial features to dedicated sections.
• Keep less substantial or niche items in compact bullets at the end.

4. Source screenshots

• Prefer existing docs/integration golden images.
• Typical sources:
  • sdk/python/packages/flet/integration_tests/.../golden/...
  • sdk/python/examples/.../media/...
• Copy selected assets into website repo:
  • static/img/blog/flet-<version>/...
• If an image is unavailable, explicitly note the gap.

5. Build each major feature section For each major feature include:

• What it is
• What problem it solves
• Short code sample
• Screenshot (<img src="..." className="screenshot-..." />)
• "More info" links (docs + issue/PR)

6. Upgrade instructions Always include both flows:

• pip:

pip install 'flet[all]' --upgrade

• uv + pyproject.toml:

uv sync --upgrade

uv sync --upgrade-package flet \
  --upgrade-package flet-cli \
  --upgrade-package flet-desktop \
  --upgrade-package flet-web

On Linux, mention that some setups use flet-desktop-light instead of flet-desktop; in that case --upgrade-package flet-desktop-light should be used.

7. Verify before handoff

• Title and slug align with repo naming conventions.
• All image paths exist in static/img/....
• Docs/issue links resolve and match section claims.
• "Other changes" list mirrors changelog items accurately.
