=== Updating the Website === | |||
Update the website internally (i.e. update the version in the repository), but do not yet put these changes online. | |||
* Edit <code>include/config.inc.php</code> to update the global version. | |||
* Add a news item. | |||
* Follow the instructions at [https://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php?title=HOWTO-Release#Signing_binaries HOWTO-Release#Signing binaries] in order to enable updates via (Win)Sparkle | |||
* Copy over the release files to FRS | |||
** Set the OS for the newly uploaded binaries (click on the (i) next to each binary). | |||
*** -win32.exe as Windows binary | |||
*** -macosx.dmg as Mac binary | |||
*** .tar.bz2 as Linux, FreeBSD and Other binary | |||
*** -solaris-x86.tar.gz as Solaris binary | |||
* On [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QzwFleEKXOsE59cYMOcQB7C2f0Np48uAQOCG8kicX_s/edit#gid=854570757 the ScummVM Data spreadsheet] | |||
** On the <code>versions</code> tab, add the new release to the bottom of the list | |||
** On the <code>scummvm_downloads</code> tab, for any releases that have been uploaded to FRS, change the <code>version</code> column to match the latest version. Verify that all ports that don't have the new version (yet) are set to "old", so they appear in the right section of our website. | |||
**'''WARNING:''' The website update script keeps track of the different sheets in the spreadsheet file based on an internal ID. You '''must''' use the exact same sheet for every release. This means that you have to temporarily duplicate the downloads sheet and constantly update it while the porters submit their builds - you don't want to all builds at once right before the release. As soon as the release is about to get published, '''copy over all content of the temporary scummvm_downloads sheet to the productive one.''' '''You must not rename the old sheet under any circumstances, it will break the website!''' | |||

=== GitHub release === | |||
Use https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/releases/new for creating a new GitHub release: | |||
* Use the current tag as "base" for the release | |||
* Use the current version number as "Release title" (format: 1.2.3, no leading "v") | |||
* Use the current ReleaseNotes in Markdown format for the "Describe this release" field | |||
* GitHub automatically attaches the matching source tarball in .zip and .tar.gz format, so no need to upload it on your own | |||
