Creating a new svg-edit release

Prepare

  1. npm run browser-test - Ensure build steps occur and tests are passing
  2. npm start and in another console window, npm test - This should also be run, though currently accessibility tests are failing.
  3. npm run build-docs - Ensure JSDoc can build and is available for site build (though not added to master, will be copied over in the SVG-Edit.github.io steps and used in npm publish step).
  4. npm pack --dry-run to preview which files will be included once published and taking into account .npmignore.

Update the main project

  1. Update version in package.json (and package-lock.json (via npm i)).
  2. Update the CHANGES file with a summary of all changes.
  3. Add new release info to Recent news section in README
  4. Commit these changes git commit -m "Updating CHANGES for release X.Y.Z"-->.
  5. Tag the version, prefixed by "v", e.g., v6.0.0.

The above steps can be done on a fork and committed via a pull request.

Create the release as a submodule

  1. Create a branch for the release, e.g., git branch release-v6.0.0
  2. While still on master, add the branch to .gitsubmodules: VERSION=6.0.0 npm run add-release
  3. Run git submodule update --init --recursive
  4. Commit these changes git commit -m "Updating for release X.Y.Z"-->.
  5. Push to master.
  6. Ensure the new release is available by visiting https://svg-edit.github.io/svgedit/releases/svg-edit-X.Y.Z/editor/svg-editor.html (and in an ES6-Module-compliant browser, https://svg-edit.github.io/svgedit/releases/svg-edit-X.Y.Z/editor/svg-editor-es.html).

Create the release on GitHub

  1. Go to https://github.com/SVG-Edit/svgedit/releases and select Draft a new release.
  2. Make the release target point at the tag where the changes were updated.
  3. Write a short description of the release and include a link to the live version (in another tab, you may wish to see the source for a previous release): https://svg-edit.github.io/svgedit/releases/svg-edit-X.Y.Z/editor/svg-editor.html.
  4. Create the release!

You will need to be a member of the SVG-Edit GitHub group to do this step.

Publish to npm

  1. npm publish

You will need to be a member of the npm group to do this step. You can run npm publish --dry-run to confirm that the files being included are all desired, and add to .npmignore if not.
