Releasing

Releasing ownCloud Web

OwnCloud Web can be hosted standalone for a dedicated oCIS backend or bundled as part of oCIS.

Versioning

We follow the Semantic Versioning scheme. Therefore, each change is of one of the possible types: Bugfix, Change, Enhancement, Security.

The highest type before a new release determines the version update number, so if it’s only Bugfix and Security changes the next release will be a PATCH version bump, if there’s at least one Enhancement within the changes this leads to a MINOR version bump, while Change type changes make for a new MAJOR release version.

Release Guide

Create a branch release-$version in https://github.com/owncloud/web.
Create a folder in changelog for the release version and date mkdir $major.$minor.$patchVersion_YYYY-MM-DD.
Move all changelog items from the changelog/unreleased/ folder to the $major.$minor.$patchVersion_YYYY-MM-DD folder.
Run ./dev/scripts/bump_versions.sh $version. This script will bump the package.json files in all relevant packages.
Commit and push your changes.
Run ./dev/scripts/create_and_push_tags.sh. This script will create and push tags for the main app as well as all packages that need to be released.
After merging, wait for the CI to run on the merge commit.
Go to the Releases section and click “Draft a new Release”.
The release artifacts will be created automatically.

Next steps

For oCIS the release assets need to be updated.
