# 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](https://github.com/sbrl/Pepperminty-Wiki/releases/tag/v0.19.1-hotfix1)
|
|
- 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):
|
|
- Pull down changes to update [online downloader](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/labs/peppermint/download.php)
|
|
- Ensure docs are up-to-date
|
|
- Update wikimatrix
|

The following template text can be used for releases:

(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).

|
## 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.
