Releasing a new version

How to release a new version?

After developing a new version, the files have to be packed in an .oxt file. Such an extension is essentially a .zip file with altered extension.

We have a script called release.py in order to automate this process. Examples:

Releasing a version 0.0.3 for LibreOffice:

./release.py --LibreOffice 0.0.3

Releasing a version 0.0.3 for OpenOffice:

./release.py --OpenOffice 0.0.3

Changing the final filename:

./release.py --OpenOffice 0.0.3 -f awesome-release

Changing the source folder:

./release.py --OpenOffice 0.0.3 -s ../lo-page-numbering

./release.py --help:

usage: release.py [-h] [-L] [-O] [-s SOURCE] [-f FILENAME] version
