Release a new RubyInstaller version
- Update the [CHANGELOG.md]) file based on the recommendations of keepachangelog.
- Use a headline kind of
RubyInstaller-2.4.1-3 - YYYY-MM-DD
or set a particular date in ISO format. Hereby2.4.1
is the base ruby version and-3
is the RubyInstaller package increment. Release candidates of the base ruby are labeled asRubyInstaller-2.5.0.rc1-1
or similar. The RubyInstaller package increment is reset to-1
for each new ruby verison. - In a terminal, make sure you are on master and completely up-to-date with the remote server, then run:
rake release:tag[RubyInstaller-2.4.1-3]
This updates the release date in CHANGELOG.md and adds a git tag like rubyinstaller-2.4.1-3
(based on the headline) and adds the relevant CHANGELOG section as git tag annotation.
git push --follow-tags
