# Release process
## All releases
This document simply outlines the release process:
1. Ensure you are running on the oldest supported Erlang version
2. Remove all `-dev` extension from versions (see below for all files)
3. Ensure CHANGELOG is updated and add current date
4. Commit changes above with title "Release vVERSION" and generate new tag
5. Run `make clean test` to ensure all tests pass from scratch and the CI is green
6. Ensure minimum supported Hex works with new release (instructions upcoming)
7. Push branch and the new tag
8. Release new docs with `make release_docs`, copy docs to `docs/stable` if appropriate, and push
9. Release new zip with `make release_zip`, push `Precompiled.zip` to GitHub Releases
10. Add the release to `elixir.csv` file in `elixir-lang/elixir-lang.github.com`
11. Build and push standalone Mix with `make publish_mix` (requires AWS credentials)
## New vMAJOR.MINOR releases
12. Create a new branch "vMAJOR.MINOR"
13. Move docs generation to `docs/vMAJOR.MINOR` and copy them from `docs/stable`
14. In master, bump versions, start new CHANGELOG, add `-dev` back and commit "Start vVERSION+1"
15. `make release_docs` and push it to `elixir-lang/docs`
## Places where version is mentioned
* VERSION (make sure there is no newline in this file)
* CHANGELOG.md
* src/elixir.app.src (not lib/elixir/src/elixir.app.src)
