Release guide

Before release

• Open phabricator and check that there is no open release blocker bugs
• Verify if there is no information about current issues found by testers
• Make sure there is no new bug that was introduced since last release, preferably run huggle yourself for few hours so that you can be sure it works

Release

• git tag -a (git tag -a 3.1.2)
• git push origin
• Create a release on github by editing the tag
• Build version for windows, linux and Mac (Poke Rich), upload the packages, except for linux, on Github
• Create .tar.gz:

v=3.4.6
cd /tmp
git clone --recursive https://github.com/huggle/huggle3-qt-lx
mv huggle3-qt-lx "huggle_$v"
# Make life of people who don't read docs easier
cd "huggle_$v"/src/huggle_core
cp definitions_prod.hpp definitions.hpp
sh update.sh
cd -
rm -rf "huggle_$v"/.git
tar -zcf "huggle_$v".tar.gz "huggle_$v"

DELETE OLD DEFINITIONS FILE SO THAT NEW VERSION IS VISIBLE IN PROGRAM

Windows

Make sure to run ./update.sh so that version.txt contains last version, double check that! Do this after you push to git

Don't forget to increment version in NSI file

Good to know: If you need to compile with MSVC 2019 runtime, yaml-cpp won't work unless you checkout version 0.7.0 or something older than that
