Releasing a New Version of a Module

• Before you release a new version of a CORAL module to the public, consider these tasks:

• Download the latest module code from the master branch on github

• Install and test in a fresh location (not on top of a previous version)

• Test the upgrade process (from the previous version to the latest code version)

• Ensure that all important features work, no bugs

• Make sure all appropriate release notes have been added for this new version

• Make sure all other related documents have been updated (especially installation / upgrade guides)

• Add a tag to preserve this version (this can be by adding a “release” via github, or by adding a tag to a local git repo then pushed to github with: git push –tags)

• Announce new version of module via listserv and website

• Create new milestone on github for next anticipated version of module (??)
