Update/Release

Version

If we update the server it is mandatory to update the version file.

The version number should follow these specs.

The name is just a random name and will be generated with this tool. Don't use a prefix and suffix. The dictionary should point to US Countries

GitHub Release

After we published we have to create a GitHub Release.

For that we needed a tag which will be named as release/vX.X.X. The X.X.X represent the version we specified with the step above.

It is also necessary to add a changelog.
