New Release Manager

Before start

prepare

export FLASHPLAYER_DEBUGGER="/Users/some-username/Devtools/Adobe/Flash/FlashPlayer-32.0/Flash Player.app/Contents/MacOS/Flash Player Debugger"

If you see this error:

gpg: signing failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Run first:

export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

Optional (Release of Tools projects)

In case you need to release compiler-build-tools and compiler-jburg-types:

1. Ensure version in each tool is a SNAPSHOT
2. Go to each folder and run

• mvn release:prepare
• mvn release:perform

Then start a VOTE and DISCUSSION threads to approve the release. As the vote passes update versions in royale-compiler pom.xml to the new version:

<compiler-build-tools.version>1.2.0</compiler-build-tools.version>
<compiler-jburg-types.version>1.2.0</compiler-jburg-types.version>

Now you can start the release:

DONE!

Validate the release

1. Download the source bundles
2. Unpack them

For Maven

3. Run mvn install in compiler, typedefs and framework folders.

For Ant

4. Copy source bundles to a directory and rename them to be royale-compiler, royale-typedefs and royale-asjs since that names are required for the Ant scripts to work.
5. Run ant all from royale-asjs folder.

for Ant, you can instead run ant all -Dbuild.noprompt=true -Drelease.target=true to avoid prompt request
