Release procedure

Patch release

Version autoupdate is set up using the Github Actions. After the feature branch is merged into master branch, the patch version is incremented automatically by version-auto-increment workflow. After that new docker images with the latest tag will be released by docker-images workflow: verapdf_file-storage, verapdf_job-service, verapdf_worker.

Minor and Major releases

Minor and major version updates should be performed manually. Follow the steps, assuming X.X.X is the version to be released:

1. Update version to X.X.X-SNAPSHOT in all .pom files.

2. Commit changes from step 1 with the commit message vX.X.X-SNAPSHOT.

3. Add tag with name X.X.X to the commit created at step 2 and push tag to remote:

    git tag X.X.X
    git push origin X.X.X
   

After these steps new docker images with the X.X.X tag will be released by docker-images-tagged workflow.
