| # Release checklist |
| |
| When changing the version, run `build-scripts/update-version.sh X Y Z`, |
| where `X Y Z` are the major version, minor version, and patch level. So |
| `3 8 1` means "change the version to 3.8.1". This script does much of the |
| mechanical work. |
| |
| |
| ## New feature release |
| |
| * Update `WhatsNew.txt` |
| |
| * Bump version number to 3.EVEN.0: |
| |
| * `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 3 EVEN 0` |
| |
| * Do the release |
| |
| * Update the website file include/header.inc.php to reflect the new version |
| |
| ## New bugfix release |
| |
| * Check that no new API/ABI was added |
| |
| * If it was, do a new feature release (see above) instead |
| |
| * Bump version number from 3.Y.Z to 3.Y.(Z+1) (Y is even) |
| |
| * `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 3 Y Z+1` |
| |
| * Do the release |
| |
| * Update the website file include/header.inc.php to reflect the new version |
| |
| ## After a feature release |
| |
| * Create a branch like `release-3.4.x` |
| |
| * Bump version number to 3.ODD.0 for next development branch |
| |
| * `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 3 ODD 0` |
| |
| ## New development prerelease |
| |
| * Bump version number from 3.Y.Z to 3.Y.(Z+1) (Y is odd) |
| |
| * `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 3 Y Z+1` |
| |
| * Do the release |
