Maintaining Etcher

This document is meant to serve as a guide for maintainers to perform common tasks.

Preparing a new version

• Bump the version number in the package.json's version property.

• Bump the version number in the package.json's builder.win.version

• Bump the version number in the npm-shrinkwrap.json's version property.

• Add a new entry to CHANGELOG.md by running npm run changelog.

• Re-take screenshot.png so it displays the latest version in the bottom right corner.

• Commit the changes with the version number as the commit title, including the v prefix, to master. For example:

git commit -m "v1.0.0" # not 1.0.0

• Create an annotated tag for the new version. The commit title should equal the annotated tag name. For example:

git tag -a v1.0.0 -m "v1.0.0"

• Push the commit and the annotated tag.

git push
git push --tags

Upgrading Electron

• Upgrade the electron-prebuilt dependency version in package.json to an exact version (no ~, ^, etc).
