Release

Milestones:

• use milestones to track what's about to be released (merged PRs)
  • Title:
    • when there is no milestone, create a new one called vNext
    • once there are issues/PRs assigned to a milestone, keep the version up to date according to SemVer
  • Description: use a milestone's description to keep track of fixed issues and breaking changes (to be used later when releasing a new version)

Releasing a new version:

Once you're happy with the state of the master branch and want to release a new version:

1. Go to Releases
2. Draft a new release
   • Tag: version according to SemVer, e.g. 4.0.0 or v4.0.0 - both will work
   • Title: can be a version number or a version number with a codename 4.0.0 - Cannonball
   • Description: copy & past new features, bugfixes, and breaking changes from the milestone's description
   • Pre-release: check if the release is a pre-release and contains a pre-release suffix
3. Publish the release
4. GitHub Actions will build the source using the Release configuration and upload the resulting artifacts to NuGet (and to the GitHub Release)
5. Close the current milestone and create a new one called vNext
