This document describes the steps to make a new execnet
release.
master
should always be green and a potential release candidate. execnet
follows
semantic versioning, so given that the current version is X.Y.Z
, to find the next version number
one needs to look at the CHANGELOG.rst
file:
- If there any new feature, then we must make a new minor release: next
release will be
X.Y+1.0
. - Otherwise it is just a bug fix release:
X.Y.Z+1
.
To publish a new release X.Y.Z
, the steps are as follows:
- Create a new branch named
release-X.Y.Z
from the latestmaster
. - Update the
CHANGELOG.rst
file with the new release information. - Commit and push the branch to
upstream
and open a PR. - Once the PR is green and approved, start the
deploy
workflow manually from the branchrelease-VERSION
, passingVERSION
as parameter. - Merge the release PR to
master
.
