Let mailing lists know about the coming release.
|
|
For major releases:
|
|
* Agree string freeze period for translations.
|
|
* Try to synchronize release date with geany-plugins.
|
|
|
|
Update NEWS file - ideally each committer should review their changes
|
|
and summarize the interesting ones. Use `git log --author='name'`
|
|
to filter commits by a particular developer name.
|
|
|
|
Ensure version numbers are all updated in:
|
|
configure.ac geany_private.rc geany.exe.manifest doc/geany.txt
|
|
Ensure release date is updated in (use scripts/set-release-date if not):
|
|
NEWS doc/geany.txt doc/geany.1.in
|
|
Check GEANY_CODENAME is set in src/geany.h.
|
|
|
|
Export the code into a new directory (i.e. not usual working copy).
|
|
Run 'make distcheck'.
|
|
Delete the created archive and run 'make dist' and 'make dist-bzip2'.
|
|
Sign the archives with 'make sign'.
|
|
|
|
Upload the resulting tarballs and signature files to your home directory on
|
|
geany.org. Use the script /home/geany/publish-release, passing it the new
|
|
version number (e.g. `/home/geany/publish-release 1.36`).
|
|
Make sure the public part of the GPG key used to sign the archives
|
|
can be found on the download page.
|
|
|
|
Windows builds (enrico?).
|
|
|
|
Create a signed tag for the release in Git with 'git tag -s <version>'.
|
|
|
|
Website: update Latest Version (https://www.geany.org/admin/latest_version/latestversion/)
|
|
and add a News item.
|
|
|
|
Announce on geany, devel, i18n mailing lists (check you're subscribed).
|
|
Put a news item on SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/p/geany/news/)
|
|
and a new release on GitHub (https://github.com/geany/geany/releases --
|
|
use scripts/github-news to generate the contents).
|
|
|
|
Update the topic on the IRC channel (/msg chanserv op #geany).
|
|
|
|
For non-master releases, merge NEWS into master and any branch-only
|
|
commits that need to merged.
|
|
|
|
For merge releases, bump version strings and codename (use scripts/version-bump,
|
|
e.g. `scripts/version-bump 1.37 Wolbam`) and merge unstable branch if any.
