Release Checklist

In order to cut a new release, a few things must be done:

  1. auto-generate the CHANGELOG using the provided script
  2. bump version.go and docs/installation.md to the new release
  3. push a tag for the new release
  4. draft a new release
  5. bump version.go to the next release, appending -dev

For the former, you can use the following script:

$ echo -e "$(./contrib/generate-changelog.sh v$LATEST_RELEASE)\n" | cat - CHANGELOG | sponge CHANGELOG

You can find sponge in the moreutils package on Ubuntu.

This script will generate all merged changes since $LATEST_RELEASE and append it to the top of the CHANGELOG. However, this will show up as "HEAD" at the top:

$ ./contrib/generate-changelog.sh v$LATEST_RELEASE
### HEAD

abc123 Some merged PR summary
...

You'll need to manually modify "HEAD" to show up as the latest release.

When drafting a new release, you must make sure that a darwin, linux and windows build of confd have been uploaded. You must have Docker installed to build release binaries:

$ make release

You can then drag and drop these binaries into the release draft.
