Release howto (internal notes)

Pre-Release steps

1. Prepare Release page
2. Check current versions of dependencies and update (libzint, libfmt, pybind11, googletest, android)
3. Check publish-python.yml for new cibuildwheel / python version
4. Update version string in multiple places (at least 7 a.t.m.): search for old version string across all files
5. Check that publish-python, publish-winrt, publish-kn and publish-android without deployment still run
6. potentially make an RC release first

Release

1. make the release and immediately cancel the publish-winrt GHA
2. run publish-winrt, publish-kn, publish-python, publish-android with deployment
3. tar cvzf test_samples.tar.gz test/samples and upload to release
4. download python/android/winrt artifacts and attach to release

Post-Release steps

• prepare PR for MINGW and Conan
• get in touch with Debian maintainer
