Mithril Release Processes

Releasing a new Mithril version

Prepare the release

Ensure your local branch is up to date

$ git co next
$ git pull --rebase lhorie next

Determine patch level of the change
Update information in docs/change-log.md to match reality of the new version being prepared for release
Commit changes to next

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Preparing for release"

# Push to your branch
$ git push

# Push to lhorie/mithril.js
$ git push lhorie next

Merge from `next` to `master`

Switch to master and make sure it's up to date

$ git co master
$ git pull --rebase lhorie master

merge next on top of it

$ git merge next

Clean & update npm dependencies and ensure the tests are passing.

$ npm prune
$ npm i
$ npm test

Publish the release

npm run release <major|minor|patch|semver>, see the docs for npm version
The changes will be automatically pushed to your fork
Push the changes to lhorie/mithril.js

$ git push lhorie master

Travis will push the new release to npm & create a GitHub release

Merge `master` back into `next`

This helps to ensure that the version field of package.json doesn't get out of date.

Switch to next and make sure it's up to date

$ git co next
$ git pull --rebase lhorie next

Merge master back onto next

$ git merge master

Push the changes to your fork & lhorie/mithril.js

$ git push
$ git push lhorie next

Update the GitHub release

The GitHub Release will require a manual description & title to be added. I suggest coming up with a fun title & then copying the docs/change-log.md entry for the build.

Updating mithril.js.org

Fixes to documentation can land whenever, updates to the site are published via Travis.

# These steps assume that lhorie/mithril.js is a git remote named "lhorie"

# Ensure your next branch is up to date
$ git co next
$ git pull lhorie next

# Splat the docs folder from next onto master
$ git co master
$ git co next -- ./docs

# Manually ensure that no new feature docs were added

$ git push lhorie

After the Travis build completes the updated docs should appear on https://mithril.js.org in a few minutes.
