Strimzi Kafka OAuth release process

This document describes the steps needed for release of Strimzi Kafka OAuth library.

Create new release branch

The release branch should be named release-M.N.x where M.N is replaced with the major and minor versions of the new release. For example:

git checkout -b release-0.2.x

Update the version for the new Maven project:

mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=X.Y.Z

Where X.Y.Z is the new version which is going to be released.

Update the strimzi-oauth.version in dependencies in:

These are independent Maven projects, so the dependency version needs to be changed manually.

Tag the new release as X.Y.Z or X.Y.Z-rc1. Have travis run the tests and build it.

After the GA release (not for RCs), release the JARs in Sonatype.
