Creating a release

The release process is handled via our circle.yml.

A release tag of the format 1.3.0.0 needs to be added. Afterwhich, circle will build our packages for all of our platforms.

Bumpversion

We use bumpversion to help us remember all the places to increment our version number.

To install:

pip install --upgrade bumpversion

To use to increment third number (e.g. 1.3.1.0 -> 1.3.2.0):

bumpversion --allow-dirty   --new-version=1.3.2.0 patch

To increment minor number (e.g. 1.3.1.0 -> 1.4.0.0):

bumpversion --allow-dirty   --new-version=1.4.0.0 minor

The behavior of bumpversion is controlled by .bumpversion.cfg

Creating Release tag

You can create a release tag from Github or create an annotated tag:

git tag -a 1.3.0.0 -m "Release 1.3.0.0"
git push --tags

Testing builds

The test builds are stored as artifacts on the CircleCI build page. If you want to create a test build, you can do it by triggering a pipeline on CircleCI. During the trigger of the pipeline, you should specify the trigger parameter with the value deploy-as-artifacts:

The resulting artifacts will be available on the CircleCI build page for build-nightly Job:
