Definition

A release is mostly a git tag of http://github.com/wallabag/wallabag, following semantic versioning.

Steps to release

During this documentation, we assume the release is $LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE (like 2.3.4).

Prepare the release

  • Update these files with new information
    • app/config/wallabag.yml (wallabag_core.version)
    • CHANGELOG.md
  • Create a PR named "Prepare $LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE release".
  • Wait for test to be ok, merge it.

Create a new release on GitHub

  • Run these commands to create the tag:
git checkout master
git pull origin master
git checkout -b release-$LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE
composer up
  • Then continue with these commands:
git add composer.lock
git commit -m "Release wallabag $LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE"
git push origin release-$LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE
  • Create a new pull request with this title Release wallabag $LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE. This pull request is used to launch builds on Travis-CI.
  • Once PR is green, merge it and delete the branch.
  • Run this command to create the package:
make release VERSION=$LAST_WALLABAG_RELEASE
  • Create the new release on GitHub by targetting the master branch or any appropriate branch (for instance backports). You have to upload the package (generated previously).
  • Update the URL shortener (used on wllbg.org to update links like https://wllbg.org/latest-v2-package or http://wllbg.org/latest-v2)
  • Update Dockerfile https://github.com/wallabag/docker (and create a new tag)
  • Update wallabag.org website (downloads, MD5 sum, releases and new blog post)
  • Put the next patch version suffixed with -dev in app/config/wallabag.yml (wallabag_core.version)
  • Drink a 🍺!

Target PHP version

composer.lock is always built for a particular version, by default the one it is generated (with composer update).

If the PHP version used to generate the .lock isn't a widely available one (like PHP 8), a more common one should be locally specified in composer.lock:

    "config": {
        "platform": {
            "php": "7.1.3",
            "ext-something": "4.0"
        }
    }
