Release Steps

  • Branch: Starting from develop, cut a release branch named release/4.0.0 for your changes.
  • Version bump: Bump the version number in package.json, package-lock.json, and any other relevant files if it does not already reflect the version being released.
  • Changelog: Add/update the changelog in CHANGELOG.md.
  • Props: update CREDITS.md file with any new contributors, confirm maintainers are accurate.
  • Readme updates: Make any other readme changes to README.md as necessary.
  • Merge: Make a non-fast-forward merge from your release branch to develop (or merge the pull request), then do the same for develop into master (git checkout master && git merge --no-ff develop). master contains the stable development version.
  • Push: Push your master branch to GitHub (e.g. git push origin master).
  • Release: Create a new release, naming the tag and the release with the new version number, and targeting the master branch. Paste the changelog from CHANGELOG.md into the body of the release and include a link to the closed issues on the milestone.
  • Close milestone: Edit the milestone with release date (in the Due date (optional) field) and link to GitHub release (in the Description field), then close the milestone.
  • Punt incomplete items: If any open issues or PRs which were milestoned for 4.0.0 do not make it into the release, update their milestone to 4.0.1, 4.1.0, 5.0.0 or Future Release.
  • Update NPM with the latest version.
