Pre-release

  • If no upcoming versioned milestone exists, and there are merged PRs in the Next release milestone:
    • Determine what the version number should be for the release and rename the Next release milestone to that version number.
      This project uses semantic versioning to determine the version of the next release.
    • Create a new "Next release" milestone for the release after this one.
    • Move anything that is still open in the current milestone to the new Next release milestone.
  • Verify that any PR merged since the last release has a milestone attached to it.
  • Create a changelog based on everything in the milestone, pull the changelog changes & merge the PR.
    Verify that a release link at the bottom of the CHANGELOG.md file has been added.
  • Double-check that nothing was merged into the main branch.
    • If there are unreleased commits in main, merge main into develop or cherrypick the commits from main into the develop branch.

Release

  • Open a PR to merge the develop branch to main.
    • Pro-tip: use this release checklist as the PR description to document that this release checklist has been followed.
  • Merge that PR once all CI checks have passed.
  • Create a release on GitHub, also creating a new tag (targeting main) in the process, and copy & paste the changelog to it.
    • Add/edit the relevant links to the bottom of the changelog to make sure all texts between [] in changelog entries become links.
    • For example: [PHP_CodeSniffer] only becomes a link when [PHP_CodeSniffer]: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/releases is present as well.
  • Publish the release.
  • Fast-forward develop to main.
  • Close the milestone.

Announce

  • Post a message in the #yoastcs Slack channel on the Yoast Slack to announce the new release: 
    We just released YoastCS x.y.z

Composer: update minimum versions of various dependencies
0abb50d 
PHPCSUtils and WPCS both released security releases today.

This commit updates those and other CS dependencies to their latest releases as minimum version.

Note: even though VIPCS did release a significant new version, I'm not updating the minimum version for the package (yet) as it also updates the minimum PHP version to PHP 7.4.
