Releasing New Rez Versions

To merge a PR to master and release a new version:

1. Merge the PR locally, following the instructions given on GitHub in the command line instructions link (but do not push to master yet);
2. Run the tests (rez-selftest) to double check nothing is broken;
3. Make sure the rez version is correct, and change if necessary. The version may have been correct at the time of PR submission, but may need an update due to releases that have occurred since;
4. Update the changelog to include the PR itself, as per existing entries. Also, make sure that the date and 'full changelog' link are correct;
5. Run the release-rez utility script. This performs the following actions:

   • Pushes codebase to master;

   • Creates tag on latest version, and pushes tag to master;

   • Generates the new GitHub release (https://github.com/nerdvegas/rez/releases).

     ]$ python ./release-rez.py
     

6. Relax.
