Release Checklist

Pre-release

• Your changes should be on a branch.
• Your changes should have unit tests.
• Lint the code with yarn lint
• Build your code with yarn build
• Run the unit tests with yarn test
• Get a full code review.
• Merge your branch into develop and push to github.

Release

• Update package.json to bump the ripple-lib version number.
• Update HISTORY.md
  • Update the version number and release date, and ensure it lists the changes since the previous release.
  • Use shasum -a 256 * to get the SHA-256 checksums. Add these to the file.
• Commit and push to github.
• If this is not a beta release: Merge develop into master (--ff-only) and push to github.*
• Ensure that the build/* files are what you want to publish to npm (you may wish to delete older versions).
• Publish the release to npm with yarn publish
• Create a release on github with an appropriate tag name (the version number). Upload and include files for the browser build of ripple-lib.
• Send an email to ripple-lib-announce.

*This is important because we have docs telling developers to use master to get the latest release.
