How to release a version of AreaShop

Below the steps to follow for releasing a version of AreaShop are listed.

Pull the latest translations from Transifex

Setup:

  1. Clone the InteractiveMessengerTransifex repository
  2. Run mvn package
    • The target\InteractiveMessengerTransifex.jar file should now be present

Pull translations:

  1. Run target/InteractiveMessengerTransifex.jar using Java with the following arguments:
    • download
    • , get from Transifex
    • areashop, project name
    • enyml, name of the file to download, this is the name AreaShop uses on Transifex
    • ./AreaShop/src/main/resources/lang, path to the lang directory in your clone of the AreaShop repository
    • 70, meaning only languages translated for at least 70% will get downloaded
    • true, reformat the files to be suitable for using in the plugin
    • ./langHeader.yml, header to add to language file, this file is in the AreaShop repository
    • <version>, release version to put in the header
  2. Commit the changed files in the AreaShop repository
  3. Push the commit to Github

Update the version number

  1. In ./AreaShop/pom.xml update the <version> tag with the new version (following semantic versioning)
  2. In ./changelog.md add notes about the features/fixes of this new version
  3. Commit the updated files
  4. Push the commit to Github
  5. Jenkins will build a new version and make it available on Maven

Uploading to distribution platforms

The order is important, uploading to Github will trigger the update notification, but points people to Spigot

  1. Post a resource update on Spigot
    • Use the changelog in the update message
    • Indicate major features in the update title
    • Update the supported Spigot versions if necessary
  2. Upload a new file on Bukkit
    • Use the changelog in the update message
    • The file needs to be approved before it will be available for everyone
  3. Add a new release on Github
    • Enter a tag like v2.6.0
    • Enter a title like AreaShop 2.6.0
    • Add the changelog
    • Add the .jar file as AreaShop.jar
