Basically, release process consists of the following steps:
-
Change the version in
gradle.properties
to a non-SNAPSHOT version. -
Update the
CHANGELOG.md
for the impending release. -
Update the
README.md
with the new version. -
git commit -am "Prepare for release X.Y.Z."
(where X.Y.Z is the new version) -
./gradlew clean uploadArchives
. -
Visit Sonatype Nexus and promote the artifact.
-
git tag -a X.Y.X -m "Version X.Y.Z"
(where X.Y.Z is the new version) -
Update the
gradle.properties
to the next SNAPSHOT version. -
git commit -am "Prepare next development version."
-
git push && git push --tags
-
Update the two sample modules to point to the newly released version.
If step 5 or 6 fails, drop the Sonatype repo, fix the problem, commit, and start again at step 5.
