Making a Release

This page contains a few notes about making a release of Pepperminty Wiki. These notes are intended to remind me of things I need to do, but you may find them useful.

The following things need to be done to prepare for a release:

  • Check for outstanding issues
  • Check the changelog
  • Make sure that the README is up to date
  • Make sure that Pepperminty Wiki actually works
  • Make sure that the downloader actually works
  • Bump the version:
    • In the version file
    • In the changelog
    • In apidoc.json (TODO: Automate this?)
    • In package.json (TODO: Automate this?)
  • (Stable releases only):
  • Update wikimatrix
  • Write & publish the release

Release text template

The following template text can be used for releases:

INTRODUCTION_HERE

(DELETE_IF_APPROPRIATE)
Note that this is a maintenance release that backports some urgent bugfixes to LATEST_STABLE_VERSION. Current development efforts are focused on NEXT_VERSION. The work-in-progress changelog for NEXT_VERSION can be found [here](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/blob/master/Changelog.md).

Have you updated to this release? [Click this link to say hi](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/blog/viewtracker.php?action=record&format=text&post-id=pepperminty-wiki/PEPPERMINTY_WIKI_VERSION)!

## Updating
You can update to this release simply by grabbing an updated copy of `index.php` and replacing the version in your current wiki (don't forget to take backups! I make every effort to squash as many bugs as possible, but you can never be too certain). You can get an updated copy of `index.php` in a number of ways:

 - By downloading the `index.php` file attached to this release
 - Using the [online downloader](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/download.php) (always has the latest stable version)
 - Using the online downloader offline
 - Building your own from source

For more information on the last 2 methods, please see [the documentation](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/__nightdocs/05-Getting-A-Copy.html) for more information.
