1 # HarfBuzz release walk-through checklist:
3 - [ ] Open gitk and review changes since last release.
5 - [ ] Print all public API changes:
6 `git diff $(git describe | sed 's/-.*//').. src/*.h`
8 - [ ] Document them in NEWS.
9 All API and API semantic changes should be clearly marked as API additions, API changes, or API deletions.
11 - [ ] Document deprecations.
12 Ensure all new API / deprecations are in listed correctly in docs/harfbuzz-sections.txt.
13 If release added new API, add entry for new API index at the end of docs/harfbuzz-docs.xml.
15 If there's a backward-incompatible API change (including deletions for API used anywhere), that's a release blocker.
18 - [ ] Based on severity of changes, decide whether it's a minor or micro release number bump.
20 - [ ] Search for REPLACEME on the repository and replace it with the chosen version for the release.
22 - [ ] Make sure you have correct date and new version at the top of NEWS file.
24 - [ ] Bump version in line 3 of meson.build and configure.ac.
26 - [ ] Do a `meson test -Cbuild` so it both checks the tests and updates hb-version.h (use `git diff` to see if is really updated).
28 - [ ] Commit NEWS, meson.build, configure.ac, and src/hb-version.h, as well as any REPLACEME changes you made.
29 The commit message is simply the release number, e. g. "1.4.7"
31 - [ ] Do a `meson dist -Cbuild` that runs the tests against the latest committed changes.
32 If doesn't pass, something fishy is going on, reset the repo and start over.
34 - [ ] Tag the release and sign it: e.g. `git tag -s 1.4.7 -m 1.4.7`.
35 Enter your GPG password.
37 - [ ] Push the commit and tag out: `git push --follow-tags`.
