This issue is for tracking changes for the 1.6.0 release. Target release date: TBD.
develop
, cut a release branch named release/1.6.0
for your changes.distributor.php
, distributor.pot
, and readme.txt
if it does not already reflect the version being released. In distributor.php
update both the plugin "Version:" property and the plugin DT_VERSION
constant, ensuring that it is suffixed with -dev
.CHANGELOG.md
.CREDITS.md
file with any new contributors, confirm maintainers are accurate.README.md
is geared toward GitHub and readme.txt
contains WordPress.org-specific content. The two are slightly different..pot
file by running npm run makepot
.develop
(or merge the pull request), then do the same for develop
into master
(git checkout master && git merge --no-ff develop
). master
contains the stable development version.master
branch, run npm install && npm run release
. This will create a subfolder called release
with the stable
branch cloned into it as a worktree and latest changes copied over. Ensure that any new files are in the release
folder; if not, you may need to add them to gulp-tasks/copy.js
.master
? If so, head back to develop
, run all necessary tasks and commit those changes before heading back to Step 6.release
subfolder and run through a few common tasks in the UI to ensure functionality.git push
, then from within the release
directory, add all files and push them to origin stable
: git push origin stable
.stable
branch. Paste the changelog from CHANGELOG.md
into the body of the release and include a link to the closed issues on the 1.6.0 milestone. The release should now appear under releases.develop
branch (cd ../ && git checkout develop
) bump the version number in distributor.php
, distributor.pot
, and readme.txt
to 1.6.1-dev
. It's okay if the next release might be a different version number; that change can be handled right before release in the first step, as might also be the case with @since
annotations.Due date (optional)
field) and link to GitHub release (in the Description field
), then close the milestone.1.6.0
do not make it into the release, update their milestone to 2.0.0
or Future Release
.Curious when we might see this release. I have a project that has some interest in using Distributor in production and some of the 1.6.0 bugfixes are crucial.
@jshwlkr we're back to finalizing the Distributor 1.6 release this week and hope to have it released soon. If you subscribe to updates on this issue, then you'll get a notification when it's closed and the release should be imminent at that point.
@jshwlkr if you haven't seen the update in your WP Admin, a heads up that Distributor 1.6.0 was released back on July 2nd.
Yes, thanks @jeffpaul. I got it.
