Releasing
Creating a new Session Desktop release is very simple.
- Bump up the version in
package.json. - Merge all changes required into the
masterbranch.- This will trigger github actions to start building a draft release
- After github actions has finished building. Go to Release page in the repository.
- Click on the draft release and change the tag target to
master. - Add in release notes.
- Generate gpg signatures.
- Click publish release.
Notes
Artifacts attached in the release shouldn't be deleted! These include the yml files (latest, latest-mac, latest-linux). These are all necessary to get auto updating to work correctly.
Mac
Mac currently uses 2 formats dmg and zip.
We need the zip format for auto updating to work correctly.
We also need the dmg because on MacOS Catalina, there is a system bug where extracting the artifact zip using the default Archive Utility will make it so the extracted application is invalid and it will fail to open. A work around for this is to extract the zip using an alternate program such as The Unarchiver.
Once this bug is fixed we can go back to using the zip format by itself.
