¶ How to work on a Jasmine Release

Jasmine Core Maintainers Only

Follow the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md during development.

Please work on feature branches.

Please attempt to keep commits to master small, but cohesive. If a feature is contained in a bunch of small commits (e.g., it has several wip commits or small work), please squash them when merging back to master.

We attempt to stick to Semantic Versioning. Most of the time, development should be against a new minor version - fixing bugs and adding new features that are backwards compatible.

The current version lives in the file /package.json. This file should be set to the version that is currently under development. That is, if version 1.0.0 is the current release then version should be incremented say, to 1.1.0.

This version is used by both jasmine.js and the jasmine-core Ruby gem.

Note that Jasmine should not use the "patch" version number. Let downstream projects rev their patch versions as needed, keeping their major and minor version numbers in sync with Jasmine core.

When ready to release - specs are all green and the stories are done:

1. Update the release notes in release_notes - use the Anchorman gem to generate the markdown file and edit accordingly
2. Update the version in package.json to a release candidate
3. Update any links or top-level landing page for the Github Pages

1. Build the standalone distribution with grunt buildStandaloneDist
2. Make sure you add the new ZIP file to git
   1. Should we still do this? Given we want to use guthub releases...

1. python setup.py register sdist upload You will need pypi credentials to upload the egg.

1. Copy version to the Ruby gem with grunt build:copyVersionToGem
2. NOTE: You will likely need to point to a local jasmine gem in order to run tests locally. Do not push this version of the Gemfile.
3. NOTE: You will likely need to push a new jasmine gem with a dependent version right after this release.
4. Push these changes to GitHub and verify that this SHA is green
5. rake release - tags the repo with the version, builds the jasmine-core gem, pushes the gem to Rubygems.org. In order to release you will have to ensure you have rubygems creds locally.

1. npm adduser to save your credentials locally
2. npm publish . to publish what's in package.json

1. Visit the Releases page for Jasmine, find the tag just pushed.
   1. Paste in a link to the correct release notes for this release. The link should reference the blob and tag correctly, and the markdown file for the notes.
   2. If it is a pre-release, mark it as such.
   3. Attach the standalone zipfile

There should be a post to Pivotal Labs blog and a tweet to that link.
