Here you can find how to make a new release for filesender. Details of past and planned filesender releases are listed in the release schedule

Source packages

• First make sure that you really want to make a release. No files should be changed from this point, except for files containing version numbers and changelog.
• Make a branch in the svn.

  $ svn cp http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/file_sender/filesender/trunk/ http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/file_sender/filesender/branch/filesender-<version>
  

• Edit the files containing version numbers and changelogs. Commit this to the branch.
• Do a clean export of the branch

  $ svn export http://subversion.assembla.com/svn/file_sender/filesender/branch/filesender-<version>
  

• Create new release tarball and zipfile

  $ tar -zcvf filesender-<version>.tar.gz filesender-<version>
  $ zip -rv filesender-<version> filesender-<version>
  

• Calculate SHA-1 hash

  $ sha1sum filesender-<version>.zip filesender-<version>.tar.gz
  

• Create a wiki page describing the release. Name of the wiki page is "release-". The wiki page contains a release version number, a general description of the release, a description of the changes implemented (split in bug fixes and feature changes) and the download links with the SHA-1 hashes.
• Edit the download overview page: depreciate the current release to the top entry under 'previous releases' and add the new release as current.
• Edit the Development Status section on the home page to reflect the current release number and release date.
• Send the release announcement email as plain text (NO HTML!) using the following email template:

    To: filesender-announce@filesender.org
    Cc: filesender-dev@filesender.org
    Subject: FileSender  released
