Release Checklist

Check that

• there are no -SNAPSHOT dependencies
• there are no -alpha/-beta dependencies

Then

1. Copy the Changelog from Bamboo into resources/releasedocs/changelog.html

2. Set the version in version.gradle

3. export SMACK_VERSION=

4. Create the commit: git ca -m "Smack $SMACK_VERSION"

5. Then clean and prepare release with

   git clean -x -d -f && gradle eclipse uploadArchives distributionZip install

   Note that only uploadArchives is required for the actual upload. But eclipse, distributionZip and install are usually a good idea to perform together with the upload.

6. Create a signed tag: git tag -s $SMACK_VERSION -m "Smack $SMACK_VERSION"

7. Edit version.gradle and create follow up commit

Then

• Push branches and release tag
• Stage and deploy on oss.sonatype.org
• Upload to Ignite Realtime website
• Post release announcement. Don't forget the 'planetjabber' tag when posting.
