Mantis: Create new version if needed, and move "Fixed in version" from -dev to release: https://bugs.xdebug.org/manage_proj_edit_page.php?project_id=1
Make sure both the master and release branch (i.e. xdebug_2_8) are fully synced and merged.
For first release in minor version (i.e. 2.8.x), merge package.xml from old bug fix branch into master and commit:
git diff HEAD..xdebug_2_7 package.xml | patch -p1
Update template.rc and php_xdebug.h with new version number. Use upper case "RC".
Move existing release entry down in package.xml
Create a new release entry in package.xml, use upper case "RC".
Reword package.xml so that it all makes sense!
Rebuild from source with:
~/bin/rebuild.sh
Run xdebug.ini update script from xdebug.org repository:
php html/docs/convert.php > ~/dev/php/derickr-xdebug/xdebug.ini
Run "pecl package"
Install new package with
pecl install xdebug-*.tgz
Commit template.rc, php_xdebug.h, package.xml, xdebug.ini, and RELEASE_PROCESS.rst with text:
Go with 2.8.0RC1
(use upper case 'RC').Tag package with
git tag -u ${GPGKEY} -m <version number> <version number>
(use upper case "RC").git push origin master xdebug_2_8 && git push --tags
Disable extra AppVeyor build (the one without the tag)
Update www.xdebug.org views/home/updates.php
Update www.xdebug.org src/XdebugVersion.php
Update www.xdebug.org src/Controller/DocsController.php
Write news item in www.xdebug.org data/news
Write Patreon post taking the rendered news article as starting point
Wait until AppVeyor is ready
Upload the source package to PECL
Add files from AppVeyor and source to www.xdebug.org html/files
Add the downloads, DDLs, and news file to git and commit with "Go with 2.8.0alpha1"
Mantis: "release" the version, and make sure there is a new one.
In the release branch, update template.rc and php_xdebug.h to the new version
Commit template.rc and php_xdebug.h with "Back to -dev"
Check out master branch, and run: git merge --strategy=ours xdebug_2_8
git push origin master xdebug_2_8
