Update changelog

Find changes since last commit using

git log

Then update the changelog and make sure it lists these changes:

vi CHANGELOG.md

 Newer versions are at the top of the changelog.

Make sure embedded documentation and configuration is correct

Check that bundled configuration files and documentation is still correct for the new version.

Configuration files should be found in

src/main/config

and documentation should be found in

README.md

or referenced from there.

Do a clean build

To check the code builds, run

mvn clean verify

There should be no errors.

Run Maven Release plugin - prepare

Run

mvn release:prepare

You will be prompted to resolve SNAPSHOT dependencies if there are any.

For each SNAPSHOT dependency, you need to resolve, whether you should use:

• The previous released version - if so replace e.g. 1.7-SNAPSHOT with 1.6
• The next released version - if so replace e.g. 1.7-SNAPSHOT with 1.7 (this assumes it has been released - otherwise you need to release that dependency first)

For the development version, you should usually use the next SNAPSHOT version after the one you release with - e.g if you release with a dependency of 1.7, set the development version to 1.8-SNAPSHOT

You will also be prompted for which version number you wish to use for release, in development and in tagnames. Accept the defaults.

EXCEPTION: When we do a major release version, bump e.g. 1.7-SNAPSHOT to 2.0 on release and 2.1-SNAPSHOT in development.
