- Decide whether to do a patch, minor or major release (e.g.
1.2.3
) - Adjust the version in the pom.xml
- Adjust the version in the README.md (getting started)
- Commit the changes (the commit message will be the release notes, so make sure to include anything important; markdown is supported)
- Create a tag with the pom-version:
git tag 1.2.3
- Push your commit together with the tag
