Release management

There are 2 core branches:

  • master
  • develop

master represents currently released version. In most cases its HEAD must also point to a tag with release version name.

develop represents version that is currently in development. It always should have -SNAPSHOT suffix in VERSION_NAME variable (defined in gradle.properties). Ideally each push to develop should also publish a SNAPSHOT version to MavenCentral (pending resolution).

Before releasing a new version a new branch is created. It's name should follow the v4.1.1 pattern (where 4.1.1 is upcoming release version name). In this branch should all release preparations be done (removing all mentions of SNAPSHOT and updating version name). Then a pull-request is issued from this branch to master.

After a pull-request is resolved (merged to master) all changes must be reflected in develop branch (merge with master) and -SNAPSHOT suffix must be added to the VERSION_NAME. The issuer branch (with version name) should be deleted.

A new version must be pushed to MavenCentral and new git-tag with version name must be created in the repository.

Rinse and repeat.
