Pre Release checklist

This page serves as a pre-release check-list in order to make sure that there are no mishaps or left-over development-related code when releasing new versions.

Framework and WebUI

Go over the list for Framework first, WebUI second.

1. Make sure there are no development dependencies in the Gemfile.

• No pulling from dev git repos.

2. rake -- To make sure all tests pass.
3. git flow release start v<version>
4. Bump version numbers.

• Framework
  • lib/version
• WebUI
  • VERSION
• README.md
• CHANGELOG.md

5. Remove any dev-only, debugging, whatever code.
6. rake -- Make sure we didn't break anything.
7. Merge into master.

• Framework
  • git flow release finish -n v<version> -- -n tells git-flow not to tag.
• WebUI
  • git flow release finish v<version>
• git checkout master

8. rake -- Make sure the merge back to master didn't break anything.
9. Release

• Framework
  • rake release -- To tag, push the code and push the Gem.
• WebUI
  • git push
  • git push --tags
  • Build and push self-contained packages.

Documentation

Make sure that:

1. The branches of the Wiki repos for the new versions are merged back into master.
2. The knowledge base is up to date.
