Creating a release

This file contains instructions for maintainers on how to release new versions of podman-compose.

Step 1: Initialize variables for subsequent steps

export VERSION=1.2.3

Step 2: Release notes PR

Open a new branch (e.g. release) and run the following:

./scripts/make_release_notes.sh $VERSION

This collects the release notes using the towncrier tool and then commits the result. This step is done as a PR so that CI can check for spelling errors and similar issues.

Certain file names are not properly supported by the towncrier tool and it ignores them. Check newsfragments directory for any forgotten release notes

Step 3: Merge the release notes PR

Step 4: Perform actual release

Pull the merge commit created on the main branch during the step 2. Then run:

./scripts/make_release.sh $VERSION

This will create release commit, tag and push everything.

Step 5: Create a release on Github

The release notes must be added manually by drafting a release on the GitHub UI at https://github.com/containers/podman-compose/releases.
