Release Process

This is a checklist documenting our release process:

• Get latest master:

  • git checkout master
  • git pull origin master

• Checkout the staging branch

  • git checkout staging

• Merge master to staging

  • git merge master

• Create release branch (release/x.x.x) off of staging

  • Version needs to match the package.json version

• Draft release notes to a file

• Push staging and the release/x.x.x branches

• In the GitHub UI, Create a new release, based on the release/x.x.x branch

• While the release is building, create a PR on master:

  • Bump package.json master

• Validate the output build, and run the following validations

  • Test language server on each platform
  • Test INTL keyboard on each platform

• Once the release is validated:

  • Switch from pre-release to latest
  • Update artifact links in Release-Process.md in the wiki
  • Update artifacts in our blob storage for the community.json build

• Bring in the PR on master

• Update site documents in oni-docs by pulling in the Wiki.

• Once we are OK with the release, merge the release/x.x.x branch into stable.
