MapStore Release Procedure

1. Open the issue inside the related milestone in github

2. Create a new branch 1.N.x

3. In 1.N.x create Tag 1.N_branch

   git tag -a 1.N_branch -m "Prepare 1.N release" git push origin 1.N.x --tags

4. In 1.N.x change the version reference for the other application (i.e ServiceBox, http_proxy etc...) ONLY IF necessary

5. In 1.N.x make a check build and a check tour of the main component:

    - MapManager
    - WMSGetFeatureInfo tools
    - MarkerEditor
    - Metauada explorer
    - Import Export
    - Print plugin 
    - BBOXQueryForm
    - PrintSnapshot
   

Then should be tested also:

	- MapStore Binary    (using 'ant release' and 'ant gnrelease')
	- MapStore Installer (https://github.com/geosolutions-it/mapstore/wiki/Windows-Installer)

6. In 1.N.x make a 'mvn deploy' (THIS NOT FOR MAPSTORE but only for maven applications: GeoStore, ServiceBox, Http_Proxy etc...)

7. In 1.N.x do commit&push(-m "Prepare for next 1.N release iteration")

8. In 1.N.x create a Tag v1.N and push it:

    git tag -a v1.N -m "Final 1.N release"
    git push origin 1.N.x --tags
   

9. In 1.N.x change the version reference with the olds one and then make commit&push

            (-m "Revert the project to the 1.N-SNAPSHOT version")
   

10. In master upgrade the project version 1.(N+1)-SNAPSHOT and then do commit&push

            (-m "Update the project to the 1.(N+1)-SNAPSHOT version")
    

11. In master make a 'mvn deploy' for the new SNAPSHOT (THIS NOT FOR MAPSTORE but only for maven applications: GeoStore, ServiceBox, Http_Proxy etc...)
