GitHub Issues Pre-requisites
Make sure all issues within the milestone are tagged with either Bug, Feature, Improvement, Documentation, Breaking change, or Build
Make sure all issues associated with the milestone are closed
Make sure that all issues only have 1 label associated with them
Raise an issue in the Cake.AddinDiscoverer repo if there are any breaking changes so the discoverer can be modified to generate a new markdown report and also an Excel report to track which addins are compatible with this new release of Cake.
When doing a release
Create a branch locally to match the name of the release, for example, git checkout -b release/5.0.0 develop
Update ReleaseNotes.md to include the next version number as a placeholder and save the file
Create release notes on GitHub using the ReleaseNotes task (.\build.ps1 --target=ReleaseNotes)
Update ReleaseNotes.md with generated content (making sure to keep the formatting the same)
Build everything (./build.ps1) to make sure it works.
Commit the changes to ReleaseNotes.md and SolutionInfo.cs. Use comment like (build) Updated version and release notes
At this point, if you want to share the work to date, and validate something, push the local release branch to GitHub
Assuming everything is ok, switch to main branch (git checkout main)
Merge release branch to the maingit merge --no-ff release/5.0.0
Build everything (./build.ps1) to make sure it works (we can never be too sure).
Push main branch.
Make sure that all builds succeed before going any further.
Assuming that everything went ok, go to the draft release in GitHub and click Edit
Click the Publish Release button
This will trigger another build in AppVeyor, but this time with a tag.
Switch to develop branch git checkout develop
Merge release branch into develop git merge --no-ff release/5.0.0
Resolve any merge conflicts
Bump the Cake Tool Version number in .config\dotnet-tools.json to the latest released version, i.e. the version you just released
Build everything (./build.ps1) to make sure it works.
Commit the changes to .config\dotnet-tools.json. Use commit message like (build) Updated Cake Tool to version 5.0.0
Push develop branch.
Delete the local release branch that was created git branch -d release/5.0.0 (and the remote one, if pushed to GitHub git push origin --delete release/5.0.0)
After a release/hotfix
Make sure that everything has been pushed correctly to NuGet
Create a branch for a new blog post git checkout -b 5.0.0-Blog-Post master
You can get a draft blog post using the console secrets\Processes\FetchContributors
