Release Process

The objective is to release a version every six weeks. Ideally this should be one week before Firefox uplift dates; see https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar.

After an api-(minor|major) pull request is merged:

Update the pdfjs.config file:

1. Bump the major/minor version number of the versionPrefix.
2. Set baseVersion to the commit ID of the merged commit.

Releasing a new version

1. git fetch upstream
2. git checkout upstream/master
3. Run gulp publish to generate the zip
4. Create github release
   1. add release notes
   2. attach zip generated from above
   3. mark as pre-release
5. Remove pre-release flag from previous beta release
6. Eat cake, cookie or any other treat
