- Ensure the version information is up to date
Files to edit:
src/build.configREADME.md(preemptively)
Make sure to run ./update-data.sh so that translations are up to date.
- Build installer and portable versions
Just run make in an MSYS2 shell. Building the Visual Studio solution
will not be enough, as it only builds the installer.
- Commit, tag and push
- Upload packages
Create a new release
on GitHub and upload the .exe and .zip files.
- Update website for the automatic updater
The queried URL is http://wincompose.info/status.txt
- Advertise release on news websites
- Portable Freeware (updates need to be requested in the forums)
- Softpedia (there is a “send us an update” button)
