Release process

This document simply outlines the release process:

  1. Remove all -dev extension from versions (see below for all files)

  2. Ensure CHANGELOG is updated and add current date

  3. Commit changes above with title "Release vVERSION" and generate new tag

  4. Run make clean test to ensure all tests pass from scratch and the CI is green

  5. Push master and the new tag

  6. Release new docs with make release_docs, move docs to docs/stable

  7. Release new zip with make release_zip, push new zip to GitHub Releases, name it Precompiled.zip

  8. Fast-forward merge master into stable branch with git merge master --ff and push it

  9. After release, bump versions, add -dev back and commit

  10. make release_docs once again and push it to elixir-lang/docs

  11. Add the release to elixir.csv file in elixir-lang/elixir-lang.github.com

Places where version is mentioned
