Release instructions

Before creating a new release please do a careful consideration about the version number for the new release. We are following Semantic Versioning with GSA 8.

  • Fetch upstream changes and create release branch

    git fetch upstream
git checkout -b create-new-release upstream/master

  • Open CMakeLists.tx and increment the version number and check PROJECT_BETA_RELEASE. PROJECT_BETA_RELEASE must be unset for a non pre-release.

  • Check gsa version at the about page.

  • Test the build

    mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make -j6

  • Update CHANGES.md

  • Create a git commit

    git add .
git commit -m "Prepare release <version>"

  • Create an annotated git tag

    git tag -a v<version>

    or even better a signed tag with your gpg key

    git tag -s v<version>

  • Update version in CMakeLists.tx

  • Create a commit

    git commit -m "Update version after <version> release"

  • Push changes and tag to Github

    git push --tags upstream master

  • Create a Github release
