Going forward for new installations, config and data files will be
stored at the platform default paths, as defined by
[env-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-paths).
For backwards compatibility, if the `~/.waveterm` or `WAVETERM_HOME`
directory exists and contains valid data, it will be used. If this check
fails, then `WAVETERM_DATA_HOME` and `WAVETERM_CONFIG_HOME` will be
used. If these are not defined, then `XDG_DATA_HOME` and
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME` will be used. Finally, if none of these are defined,
the [env-paths](https://www.npmjs.com/package/env-paths) defaults will
be used.
As with the existing app, dev instances will write to `waveterm-dev`
directories, while all others will write to `waveterm`.
Updates the version.cjs script so that if the arguments are "none 0" and
a prerelease version is already set, it will be removed. This is
equivalent the behavior of "patch 0", but better aligns with the default
behavior of the Bump Version worklow.
## New release workflow
Build Helper will now automatically create a draft GitHub Release after
it finishes its builds. It will upload a copy of the build artifacts to
this release for easy access.
When a version is ready to be published, edit the GitHub Release and
publish it. This will trigger a workflow to publish the artifacts to our
releases feed.
## Moved artifacts scripts to Taskfile
The scripts formerly located at `scripts/artifacts` have been moved to
the Taskfile. They can now be found at `artifacts:*`.
## Moved releases readme to `RELEASES.md`
Updated the releases readme with step-by-step instructions and moved it
from `scripts/artifacts` to `RELEASES.md`
## Created new AWS identities for artifact upload and publishing
This narrows the scopes of the AWS identities used by the workflows to
upload and publish artifacts. The Build Helper workflow now only has
permission to put files into the artifacts bucket. The Publish Release
workflow only has permission to get files from the artifacts bucket and
put them into the releases bucket.
## New release flow
1. Run "Bump Version" workflow with the desired version bump and the
prerelease flag set to `true`. This will push a new version bump to the
target branch and create a new git tag.
- See below for more info on how the version bumping works.
2. A new "Build Helper" workflow run will kick off automatically for the
new tag. Once it is complete, test the new build locally by downloading
with the [download
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/download-staged-artifact.sh).
3. Release the new build using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to beta
users.
4. Run "Bump Version" again with a release bump (either `major`,
`minor`, or `patch`) and the prerelease flag set to `false`.
6. Release the new build to all channels using the [publish
script](https://github.com/wavetermdev/thenextwave/blob/main/scripts/artifacts/publish-from-staging.sh).
This will trigger electron-updater to distribute the package to all
users.
## Change Summary
Creates a new "Bump Version" workflow to manage versioning and tag
creation.
Build Helper is now automated.
### Version bumps
Updates the `version.cjs` script so that an argument can be passed to
trigger a version bump. Under the hood, this utilizes NPM's `semver`
package.
If arguments are present, the version will be bumped.
If only a single argument is given, the following are valid inputs:
- `none`: No-op.
- `patch`: Bumps the patch version.
- `minor`: Bumps the minor version.
- `major`: Bumps the major version.
- '1', 'true': Bumps the prerelease version.
If two arguments are given, the first argument must be either `none`,
`patch`, `minor`, or `major`. The second argument must be `1` or `true`
to bump the prerelease version.
### electron-builder
We are now using the release channels support in electron-builder. This
will automatically detect the channel being built based on the package
version to determine which channel update files need to be generated.
See
[here](https://www.electron.build/tutorials/release-using-channels.html)
for more information.
### Github Actions
#### Bump Version
This adds a new "Bump Version" workflow for managing versioning and
queuing new builds. When run, this workflow will bump the version,
create a new tag, and push the changes to the target branch. There is a
new dropdown when queuing the "Bump Version" workflow to select what
kind of version bump to perform. A bump must always be performed when
running a new build to ensure consistency.
I had to create a GitHub App to grant write permissions to our main
branch for the version bump commits. I've made a separate workflow file
to manage the version bump commits, which should help prevent tampering.
Thanks to using the GitHub API directly, I am able to make these commits
signed!
#### Build Helper
Build Helper is now triggered when new tags are created, rather than
being triggered automatically. This ensures we're always creating
artifacts from known checkpoints.
### Settings
Adds a new `autoupdate:channel` configuration to the settings file. If
unset, the default from the artifact will be used (should correspond to
the channel of the artifact when downloaded).
## Future Work
I want to add a release workflow that will automatically copy over the
corresponding version artifacts to the release bucket when a new GitHub
Release is created.
I also want to separate versions into separate subdirectories in the
release bucket so we can clean them up more-easily.

Hook into an existing SSH Agent.
This allows us to pull keys already authenticated by the agent and write
to the agent ourselves.

This change shaves ~20 MB off the download size by only copying over the
wavesrv binary that is relevant for whichever architecture we're
currently packaging. This is only relevant for macOS at the moment,
though it can also apply to Windows when we get multi-arch builds
working.
This required renaming our Go binaries from .amd64 to .x64 to comply
with electron-builder's naming conventions.
This adds a new job to the Build Helper pipeline for building for
Windows. This includes code signing via DigiCert. Right now, we can only
build for x64 on Windows as wavesrv fails to build for arm64 in the
default runner and the Windows ARM runner images are missing a bunch of
tooling.
This also adds new separated arm64 and x64 for macOS for those who don't
want to use the universal binary.
This also improves the general code quality of the Taskfile.yml and the
build-helper.yml files.
