Release Instructions

Create a new release using the GitHub UI (which will automatically create a tag). There is no need to change master during release. Please keep releases to form vX where v is always a v and X is the release number.

1. Navigate to the releases page: https://github.com/fabric8-launcher/launcher-booster-catalog/releases

2. Click in Draft a new Release

   1. Check if a draft release doesn’t already exist first - see the Optional step below

3. Tag the release following the pattern vX where v is always a v and X is the release number.

4. Choose the specific commit you want to release (or use master)

5. Click Publish Release to immediately update production

6. (Optional) Create a new draft release with the next version

   1. This will save you from having to remember the next version name next time you release the catalog

How to make the release effective in production?

The release will be automatically effective in production once it is published. Saving as a Draft or publishing pre-release builds do not affect production.

In short, if you don’t want the release to be effective in production immediately, then make sure that the This is a pre-release checkbox is marked.
