Making a release

Assuming you're working against x.y.0-SNAPSHOT

• Make sure your working checkout is clean and up-to-date with origin/master
• Verify that the build is passing on the CI server
• Update working version to release version:
  • Change POM version from x.y.0-SNAPSHOT to x.y.0
  • Change JARSPEC_VERSION env variable in .travis.yml from x.y.0-SNAPSHOT to x.y.0
  • Change release version in readme from x.(y-1).0 to x.y.0
• Perform the release
  • Make sure you have suitable OSSRH credentials in your maven settings
  • Make sure gpg --list-keys includes a suitable key pair
    • The public key must be pushed to OpenPGP keyservers
    • You can specify which key to use by setting default-key in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf
  • mvn clean deploy -P release
• Commit and tag the released code
  • Commit and push master as normal
  • git tag x.y.0
  • git push origin --tags
• Update working version
  • Change POM version from x.y.0 to x.(y+1).0-SNAPSHOT
  • Change JARSPEC_VERSION env variable in .travis.yml to match
  • Change site links in readme from x.y.0-SNAPSHOT to x.(y+1).0-SNAPSHOT
  • Update site links in wiki from x.y.0 to x.(y+1).0
