Huggle/Release checklist

official release checklist for developers for a new version of Huggle 3.

1) preparation

• update definitions.hpp / definitions_prod.hpp:
  • increment version if not already done
• update version info in Huggle.nsi for windows
• commit
• create tag in github for official things

2) building the version

• update definitions.hpp / definitions_prod.hpp
  • adjust HUGGLE_UPDATER_PLATFORM_TYPE if not working for target platform
  • set PRODUCTION_BUILD to 1 (or not)
• run configure
  • make sure that version.txt holds the new, nice looking version string (your git-repo must already know the new git versionstag )
• build it for all platforms needed and you able to do so

3) share the builds

• add them to the version tag in github you created earlier as downloads
• update https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huggle/Download
• update https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Huggle/Huggle3_Beta#Prebuilt_packages

• change all huggle project pages to the new version number ;-)
