RELEASE_PROCESS.md

Making release of Kotlin/Native

Move version up in the repository

• Increment konanVersion in topmost gradle.properties and in KonanVersion.kt
• Create entry for new release in CHANGELOG.md file (consult git history for features included)
• Update RELEASE_NOTES.md with actual information on the released bits

Create tagged release branch

git checkout -b v0.X-fixes
git tag -a v0.X -m "version 0.X"
git push --set-upstream origin v0.X-fixes --tags

Build for all supported platforms

Repeat those steps for macOS, Linux x86-64 and Windows x64 machines/VMs:

git pull
git checkout -b v0.X-fixes origin/v0.X-fixes
./gradlew clean bundle

Make sure all samples are buildable from the bundle with both Gradle and shell script builds.

Create GitHub release

Create release at GitHub release page. We usually mark 0.X releases as pre-releases.

Upload builds created on the previous step to the GitHub release page.
