Release

Although not very tricky, the Ember Data release process does have a lot of manual steps. The following steps navigate us through some of the release gotchas and will hopefully result in a successful release.

STEPS:

  • generate changelog (PRIOR_VERSION=v2.0.0 HEAD=release ./bin/changelog)
  • prepend changelog output to CHANGELOG.md
  • edit changelog output to be as user-friendly as possible (drop [INTERNAL] changes, non-code changes, etc.)
    • If this is the release branch make sure to pr the changelog to the master branch and cherry pick it to the release branch.
    • If this is the beta branch the changelogs do not need to be pred to the master branch as master will be updated when the beta goes to release.
  • Bump version in package.json
    • git add package.json
    • git commit -m "Release Ember Data X.Y.Z-beta.n"
  • Git tag version
    • git tag vX.Y.Z-beta.n
  • Do a production build.
    • rm -rf node_modules; yarn install; npm run build:production
  • Publish to NPM
    • npm publish or npm publish --tag beta or npm publish --tag release-1-13
  • Update the /builds/ page on the website
  • Write a Release Blog Post (Does not happen for beta releases)
    • Commits since last release: git log --oneline release..beta | wc -l.
    • Contributors since last release: git shortlog -s -n release...beta | wc -l
  • Submit a Pull request to the https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-cli to update the version of Ember Data
    • (per request by @rwjblue and is also a great idea to make upgrading/new apps easier)
  • Bump version in package.json back to a canary version
  • For beta.1 releases, branch beta from master and update https://github.com/emberjs/data/blob/master/config/features.json to have false values instead of null and update the version in package.json

Tag the release

  1. Under Releases on GitHub choose Draft New Release
  • enter the new version number as the tag prefixed with v e.g. (v0.1.12)
  • for release title choose a great name, no pressure
  • in the description paste the changelog items for this release only
  • click pre-release for beta releases
  • publish the release

Announce release!

  1. on Twitter
  • then crosslink Twitter post on slack #dev-ember-data and #ember-data
