Release Procedures
When the time comes to release another version of xmonad and xmonad-contrib:
-
Update the version number in all the
*.cabalfiles and let the CI verify that it all builds together. -
Review documentation files and make sure they are accurate:
If the manpage changes, wait for the CI to rebuild the rendered outputs.
-
Check dependency bounds. In particular, packdeps can be used to check if any new versions are excluded by the upper bounds specified. Also, make sure that
tested-with:covers several recent releases of GHC, and that.github/workflows/stack.ymltests with several recent revisions of Stackage LTS. -
Create a release on GitHub:
CI will upload a release candidate to Hackage. Check again that everything looks good. To publish a final release, run the CI workflow once again with the correct version number:
- https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad/actions/workflows/haskell-ci.yml
- https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad-contrib/actions/workflows/haskell-ci.yml
See haskell-ci-hackage.patch for details about the release infrastructure.
