Making a release

We opt to use cargo workspaces for making releases. First, install cargo workspaces by running: cargo install cargo-workspaces. Next, check out the master branch of the jito-relayer repo and ensure you're on the latest commit. In the master branch, run the following command and follow the instructions:

$ ./release

This will bump all the versions of the packages in your repo, push to master and tag a new commit.

Running a release

There are two options for running the relayer from releases:

Download the most recent release on the releases page.
(Not recommended for production): One can download and run Docker containers from the Docker registry.
