This page describes how to release a new version of Flamenco. This requires not only access to the sources, but also to the flamenco.blender.org infrastructure. As such, it's only practically helpful for a small number of people.

Steps to release a new version of Flamenco

1. Update Makefile and change the VERSION and RELEASE_CYCLE variables.
2. Run make update-version
3. Update the version for the website in web/project-website/data/flamenco.yaml. This is currently a separate step, as it influences the project website and not the built software. This could be included in the update-version make target at some point.
4. Commit & tag with the commands shown in the 2nd step.
5. Run make release-package
6. Check that the files in dist/ are there and have a non-zero size.
7. Run make publish-release-packages to upload the packages to the website.
8. Run make project-website to generate and publish the new website.
