# Releasing
To make a release of Weston, follow these steps.
0. Verify the test suites and codebase checks pass. All of the tests should
either pass or skip.
ninja -C build/ test
1. Verify that the wayland and wayland-protocols version dependencies are
correct, and that wayland-protocols has had a release with any needed
protocol updates.
2. Update the first stanza of `meson.build` to the intended version.
If the ABI has been broken, make sure `libweston_major` has been bumped since
the last release.
Then commit your changes:
RELEASE_NUMBER="x.y.z"
RELEASE_NAME="[alpha|beta|RC1|RC2|official|point]"
git status
git commit meson.build -m "build: bump to version $RELEASE_NUMBER for the $RELEASE_NAME release"
git push
3. Run the `release.sh` script to generate the tarballs, sign and upload them,
and generate a release announcement template. This script can be obtained
from the Wayland repository:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland/-/blob/main/release.sh
4. Compose the release announcements. The script will generate a
weston-x.y.z.announce file with a list of changes and tags. Prepend these
with a human-readable listing of the most notable changes. For x.y.0
releases, indicate the schedule for the x.y+1.0 release.
5. PGP sign the release announcement and send it to
<wayland-devel@lists.freedesktop.org>.
6. Update `releases.html` in wayland.freedesktop.org with links to tarballs and
the release email URL.
Once satisfied:
git add releases.html releases/weston-${RELEASE_NUMBER}.tar.xz*
git commit -m "releases: add weston ${RELEASE_NUMBER} release"
git push
For x.y.0 releases, also create the release series x.y branch. The x.y branch
is for bug fixes and conservative changes to the x.y.0 release, and is where we
create x.y.z releases from. Creating the x.y branch opens up master for new
development and lets new development move on. We've done this both after the
x.y.0 release (to focus development on bug fixing for the x.y.1 release for a
little longer) or before the x.y.0 release (like we did with the 1.5.0 release,
to unblock master development early).
git branch x.y [sha]
git push origin x.y
The master branch's `meson.build` version should always be (at least) x.y.90,
with x.y being the most recent stable branch. The stable branch's `meson.build`
version is just whatever was most recently released from that branch.
For stable branches, we commit fixes to master first, then `git cherry-pick -x`
them back to the stable branch.
