Creating a prod stable release

This is intended for maintainers only

Setting up the repo

To create a prod/stable release, first go to https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware/tree/next/.github/workflows and edit the past_version.txt and the version.txt files.

• past_version.txt needs to be the current release (I.E if you are creating a new release and the old/current stable release is v1.0.0 and you want the new version to be v1.1.0, then past version needs to be v1.0.0).
• version.txt needs to be the version you want for your new release. So from the example above, that would be v1.1.0.

Running the pipeline

Once that is done then you need to create the draft stable release. You can do this by running the stable release pipeline on next branch https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware/actions/workflows/create_stable_release.yml

This should take around 7-15 minutes.

Editing the draft release

This then creates a draft release that you should be able to see in releases at the top https://github.com/portapack-mayhem/mayhem-firmware/releases

Next, make sure you test it on your own device before going any further. This is to ensure it created it correctly and that there are no last minute bugs.

Finishing off

Once all is done, create a PR to merge the next branch into the master branch.

Take a quick look over the draft release and make sure everything looks good, If it does go ahead an publish it!

Then make sure to create an announcement on Discord that vx.x.x has just been released and post a link to it.
