Automated Approach

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 Excel report to track which addins are compatible with this new release of Cake.

When doing a release

• Create branch locally to match the name of the release, for example git checkout -b release/1.0.0-rc0002 release/1.0.0
• Update releasenotes.md to include 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 main git merge --no-ff release/1.0.0-rc0002
• Build everything (./build.ps1) to make sure it works (we can never be too sure).
• Push main branch.
• Make sure that both the AppVeyor, Bitrise Ubuntu and Bitrise OSX 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.
• From the AppVeyor Log, take a note of the generated Hash from the Publish-HomeBrew task ENTERARCHIVEHASH
• Switch to release/1.0.0 branch git checkout release/1.0.0
• Merge release branch into release/1.0.0 git merge --no-ff release/1.0.0-rc0002
• Resolve any merge conflicts
• Bump the Cake Tool Version number in build.config to the latest released version, i.e. the version you just released
• Build everything (./build.ps1) to make sure it works.
• Commit the changes tobuild.config. Use commit message like (build) Updated Cake tool to version 1.0.0-rc0002
• Push release/1.0.0 branch.
