Releases

The following tasks should be completed before publishing a release. Track the progress of the release by copying and pasting the tasks below into an issue for the release.

• Update artifacts in appveyor.yml if there is a new service abstraction.
• Merge all to develop
• Branch to rc-[version] rc-1.0.0
• Draft release with version in the format of v1.3.0 targeting 'master'. Standard release should be named using the format Watson Developer Cloud .NET Standard SDK v1.3.0
• Update changelog
• Update dependencies and nuget badge in readme files to updated version (Nuget badge is the first line of the readme, search for dependencies for the dependency version)
• Update PROJECT_NUMBER in Doxyfile to current version
• Update SDK_VERSION in src/IBM.WatsonDeveloperCloud/Constants.cs
• Update version and dependencies in all .csproj files. I do this manually by searching the entire solution for the last version and changing to the current version in case some dependency has a version overlap.
• PR to merge rc branch to master
• Publish release. This should tag release using format v1.3.0. This will trigger a build and update documentation. If the release build fails in AppVeyor, rebuild commit.
• PR to merge rc branch to development
• If it's a major or breaking release, on the development branch, revise version in appveyor.yml to the next version.
