Create professional package release blog posts following Tidyverse or Shiny blog conventions. Use when the user needs to: (1) Write a release announcement blog post for an R or Python package for tidyverse.org or shiny.posit.co, (2) Transform NEWS/changelog content into blog format, (3) Generate acknowledgments sections with contributor lists, (4) Format posts following specific blog platform requirements.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# Package Release Post Create professional R/Python package release blog posts following Tidyverse or Shiny blog conventions. ## Quick Start 1. **Identify the blog platform**: Tidyverse (tidyverse.org) or Shiny (shiny.posit.co) 2.

Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
