Create a release (internal)

For creating a new release, you need to have ant installed

• Change the version number in the following files and push them to master:
  • build.xml
  • composer.json
  • includes/version.php
    • set the version
    • ALWAYS increase the revision, otherwise people using the develop branch will be stuck in the updater(!)
    • set the release status (dev for pre-release versions. empty for release)
• Switch to your bash (this script is for unix based systems)

cd /tmp/
git clone {{ site.kimai_v1_repo }}.git kimai-master
cd kimai-master
git tag -a -f -m 'Tagged version x.x.x' x.x.x
git push origin x.x.x
composer install
ant build

• Now open GitHub, [create a new "Release"]({{ site.kimai_v1_repo }}/releases) as Draft and upload the release ZIP from /tmp/kimai/kimai_xxx.zip to this draft
• Add one or two sentences and a link to this versions milestone with the "closed" filter
• Publish the release draft
• Publish a new blog post regarding this new release (see below)
• Update [kimai.json]({{ site.kimai_v1_repo }}/blob/master/kimai.json) and change the version number and news link, commit and push it to master (so the update check in Kimai administration will catch it as well)
• Edit the GitHub release and add a link to the blog post
• Let the rest of the team know and spread the word (Twitter, Facebook ...)
