This issue is for tracking changes for the 1.1.1 release. Target release date: June 2023.
Release steps
- Branch: Starting from
develop
, cut a release branch namedrelease/1.1.1
for your changes. - Version bump: Bump the version number in
maps-block-apple.php
,readme.txt
,package.json
andpackage-lock.json
if it does not already reflect the version being released. Update both the plugin "Version:" property and the pluginMAPS_BLOCK_APPLE_VERSION
constant inmaps-block-apple.php
. - Changelog: Add/update the changelog in
CHANGELOG.md
andreadme.txt
. - Props: update
CREDITS.md
with any new contributors, confirm maintainers are accurate. - New files: Check to be sure any new files/paths that are unnecessary in the production version are included in
.distignore
. - Readme updates: Make any other readme changes as necessary.
README.md
is geared toward GitHub andreadme.txt
contains WordPress.org-specific content. The two are slightly different. - Merge: Make a non-fast-forward merge from your release branch to
develop
(or merge the pull request), then do the same fordevelop
intotrunk
, ensuring you pull the most recent changes intodevelop
first (git checkout develop && git pull origin develop && git checkout trunk && git merge --no-ff develop
).trunk
contains the stable development version. - Push: Push your
trunk
branch to GitHub (e.g.git push origin trunk
). - Compare trunk to develop to ensure no additional changes were missed.
- Test the pre-release ZIP locally by downloading it from the Build release zip action artifact and installing it locally. Ensure this zip has all the files we expect, that it installs and activates correctly and that all basic functionality is working.
- Release: Create a new release, naming the tag and the release with the new version number, and targeting the
trunk
branch. Paste the changelog fromCHANGELOG.md
into the body of the release and include a link to the closed issues on the milestone. - SVN: Wait for the GitHub Action to finish deploying to the WordPress.org repository. If all goes well, users with SVN commit access for that plugin will receive an emailed diff of changes.
- Check WordPress.org: Ensure that the changes are live on WordPress.org. This may take a few minutes.
- Close the milestone: Edit the 1.1.1 milestone with release date (in the
Due date (optional)
field) and link to GitHub release (in theDescription
field), then close the milestone. - Punt incomplete items: If any open issues or PRs which were milestoned for
1.1.1
do not make it into the release, update their milestone to1.1.2
,1.2.0
orFuture Release
.
