Mongoose uses the semantic versioning. The following interfaces are mentioned as the subject of the backward compatibility:

1. API
2. Output files containing the metrics
3. Item list files
4. Scenario files format
5. Configuration options

Steps

1. Ensure all tests are OK
2. Ensure the new version documentation is ready
3. Create the corresponding version branch release-v<X>.<Y>.<Z> and set the version in the configuration to ..
4. Share the testing build with QE and repeat this step until the qualification is OK
5. Create/replace the corresponding VCS tags:

   git tag -a <X>.<Y>.<Z> -m <X>.<Y>.<Z>
   git tag -a latest -m <X>.<Y>.<Z>
   git push --tags --force

6. Create the pull request to the master branch
7. Merge the pull request if reviewed and approved
8. Upload the artifacts to the Central Maven repo: 1.

   ./gradlew clean uploadArchives

   2. Go to the https://oss.sonatype.org/#stagingRepositories find the corresponding repository, close and then release it.
