Releasing Process

We always have to start with current version x.y.0-snapshot (in all Cargo.toml).

CHANGELOG

  • Add Enhancement or Bug label to the issue
  • Add target milestone to the issue
  • Use a well formatted description on PR (starts with a verb)
  • Add link(s) to the issue

Release steps

Used to publish a new release from master branch (normal process).

  • Run release.yml workflow on master branch
  • Fill Desired delivery version input with the x.y.z version you want to publish, it will:
    • Clean pending release
    • Create new release/x.y.0 branch
    • Checkout this new branch
    • Update all toml, crates, man and docs with x.y.0
    • Generate CHANGELOG
    • Commit all updates
    • Create the x.y.0 tag
    • Create draft GitHub release x.y.0
    • Create PR from release/x.y.0 to master
    • Publish the draft release
  • Change the release status from draft to public on github
  • Accept the PR from release/x.y.0 to master with /accept
  • Run update-branch-version.yml workflow on master branch, filling in the desired SNAPSHOT version, it will:
    • Create bot/update-branch-version-master branch
    • Checkout this new branch
    • Update all toml, crates, and man with desired SNAPSHOT version
    • Commit all updates
    • Create PR from bot/update-branch-version-master to master
  • Accept the PR from bot/update-branch-version-master to master with /accept

Hotfix steps

Used when you want to deliver a fix from a published release (tag).

  • Create a new branch release/x.y.z from desired tag x.y.z by increasing the patch version, for example release/4.0.1 from tag 4.0.0
  • Run release.yml workflow on existing release/x.y.z branch
  • Fill Desired delivery version input your x.y.z version, it will:
    • Clean pending release
    • Checkout this new branch
    • Update all toml, crates, man and docs with x.y.z
    • Generate CHANGELOG
    • Commit all updates
    • Create the x.y.z tag
    • Create draft GitHub release x.y.z
    • Create PR from release/x.y.z to master
    • Publish the draft release
  • Change the release status from draft to public on github
  • Close the PR from release/x.y.z to master and manage it manually rebasing commits to reorder history and keep it linear
