Release Akka gRPC 1.1.0

[raboof]

We have not set a date for Akka gRPC 1.1.0 yet, but we have started accepting Akka gRPC 1.1.0 features to master.

See https://github.com/akka/akka-grpc/milestone/15

Before the release

• Make sure all important / big PRs have been merged by now
• Rename the 'akka-grpc-x.x-stable' and 'akka-grpc-supported-x.x-stable' reporting projects in WhiteSource accordingly (unfortunately this requires permissions that cannot be shared outside of Lightbend)
• Create a news item draft PR on akka.github.com, using the milestone - https://github.com/akka/akka.io/pull/780

Cutting the release

• Make sure any running Travis builds for the commit you would like to release have completed.
• Tag the release git tag -a -m 'Release v1.1.0' v1.1.0 and push the tag
• Check that Travis CI release build has executed successfully (Travis will start a CI build for the new tag to publish artifacts to Bintray and documentation to Gustav)
• Go to Bintray and select the just released version
• Log in, go to the Maven Central tab, check the Close and release repository when done checkbox and sync with Sonatype (using your Sonatype TOKEN key and password)

Check availability

• Check reference documentation
• Check the release on Maven central

When everything is on maven central

• ssh akkarepo@gustav.akka.io
  • update the current links on repo.akka.io to point to the latest version with

    ln -nsf 1.1.0 www/docs/akka-grpc/current
    ln -nsf 1.1.0 www/api/akka-grpc/current
    

  • check changes and commit the new version to the local git repository

    cd ~/www
    git add docs/akka-grpc/current docs/akka-grpc/1.1.0
    git add api/akka-grpc/current api/akka-grpc/1.1.0
    git commit -m "Akka gRPC 1.1.0"
