Release Process

  • Create a branch named release/0.10.2 for example. This branch should be level with the master commit that the release will be based on.
  • Update the version number in the file SharedVersion.props i.e. <Version>0.10.2</Version>.
  • Push the release branch.

If this is the first release of a major version change, i.e. 0.9.0 or 0.10.0 or the point at which breaking changes will start to be merged to master then before continuing we need to create a stable/0.10.x branch. This should be level with master at the same point that the release/0.10.2branched off from master

The git tree should now look like this:

  • Now login at dev.azure.com to access the azure pipelines. Wait for the CI to finish the build.
  • The package for 0.10.2 should now be on the avalonia-all nuget feed. You should run a due diligence test on this build to ensure you are happy with the release and the packages work.

{% hint style="danger" %} Don't assume the Nuget packages will work just because master was working. In the past some technical changes i.e. Strong Naming broke nuget packages. {% endhint %}

  • Now click on "Releases" and select "Avalonia (master / release)" pipeline as shown below.

  • On the release for your release branch release/0.10.2 click on the badge for "Nuget Release"

  • Then click on Deploy.

{% hint style="info" %} At this point the packages will deploy to Nuget, it can take between 10 and 20 minutes for them to be indexed and publicly available. https://www.nuget.org/packages/Avalonia/ {% endhint %}

  • Make a release on Github releases, this will set a tag named: 0.10.2 for you. You can add release notes here.
  • Update the dotnet templates and visual studio plugin templates
  • Announce on gitter, twitter, etc

{% hint style="info" %} Now that the release is done, it is important to understand the process for maintaining the stable branch. Please see Maintaining stable branch guide {% endhint %}
