Releasing

This document describes the gitops-engine library releasing process.

Versioning

• The library is versioned using the semantic versioning: new version will be backwards-compatible with earlier versions within a single major version.
• The library has its own release cycle and not tied to Argo CD release cycle.
• The first library release is v0.1.0.

Release process

• Release branch is created for every minor release.
• The branch name should use the following convention: release-<major>.<minor>. For example all v0.1 releases should be in release-0.1 branch.
• Actual release is a git tag which uses the following naming convention: v<major>-<minor>-<patch>. For example: v0.1.0, v0.1.1 etc.
