Releasing Dexie

TL;DR

Only for lead contributors with access to publish on npm.

Preparation

• Have a dedicated master clone on your hard drive, for example /c/repos/dexie-release
• Have nescessary npm packages installed globally (if any?... FIXTHIS)

Release dexie

Before releasing

1. Run unit tests in IE (or Edge), chrome (or opera) and firefox. TODO: Automate this throw browserstack.

2. Run the unit test addons/Dexie.Observable/test/test-observable-dexie-tests.html in chrome at least. One test fails and explains why. TODO: Make the test succeed and make sure to automate this as well.

3. Do the following:

git pull
git status      # should be clean
tools/release.sh
# enter new version number. If prerelase, use a pre-release version such as "1.3.5-beta"

Tests will run via karma. Script will publish on npm and checkin dist builded files into github/releases branch. 4. Browse to https://github.com/dfahlander/Dexie.js/releases and edit the new tag so that it becomes a release. Write release notes based on the commit history.

If release.sh fails...

git reset --hard origin/master

Then, fix problems and re-run tools/release.sh
