- Maintainer's guide
- ==================
- Commit policy
- -------------
- * Pull requests from outside contributors require a review from a maintainer.
- * Maintainers should avoid working on a master branch directly and create branches for everything. A code review from another maintainer is recommended but not required, use your best judgment.
- Release process
- ---------------
- Releases (minor) typically happen on a 6-week schedule.
- For major/minor releases you'll be releasing from ``master``. For patch releases you'll be releasing from a stable branch, such as ``9-16-stable``. This allows ongoing development of new features to continue in isolation (in master) without those changes leaking into patch releases (which should focus only on fixing breaking changes).
- The goal being that minor version series always get more stable over time and that patch releases do not add features.
- * For patch releases: First switch to the associated stable branch (i.e., ``9-16-stable``)
- * Update CHANGES.md with everything interesting since the last update.
- * Update version numbers using the three-part x.y.z notation everywhere:
- * The header in CHANGES.md (this is where the site looks for the latest version number)
- * ``"version"`` attribute in package.json
- * ``"version"`` attribute in package-lock.json (run `npm install`)
- * Two places in docs/conf.py (``version`` and ``release``)
- * Commit the version changes and tag the commit with the version number (``9.16.2``, no "v" prefix or anything like that)
- * For major/minor releases: Create a new ``[major]-[minor]-stable`` branch such as ``9-16-stable``
- * Push the commit and the tags (``git push && git push --tags``)
- Pushing the tag triggers the update process which can be monitored at http://highlightjs.org/api/release/
- When something didn't work *and* it's fixable in code (version numbers mismatch, last minute patches, etc), simply make another release incrementing the third (revision) part of the version number.
