Releases

A release consists of:

  • A full set of binaries for all supported platforms, compiled from the same source.
  • A text file containing hashes of each binary.
  • A file containing a signature of the hash file, created by whoever is building the release.

Building

NOTE: This has only been tested from an x86_64 linux machine

To create a release only a functional nix installation is required. Simply run the ./release.sh script, and input a release name when prompted.

From here an isle binary will be cross-compiled for all supported platforms. This will take a long time the first time you perform it on your machine.

Once compilation is completely, the release will be signed using the default GPG key on your machine, and you will be prompted for its password in order to create the signature.

Releasing

Releases are uploaded to the repository's Releases page, and release naming follows the conventional semantic versioning system. Each release should be accompanied by a set of changes which have occurred since the last release, described both in the CHANGELOG.md file and in the description on the Release itself.
