Build release packages

Build Windows Installation:

Prepare new release

Step 1

Update translations

lupdate -recursive ./ -ts ./translations/*

Step 2

Example update from 0.7.2 to 0.7.3.

Update lines in the file update_version_everywhere.sh

BASE_VERSION_NEW=0.7.2

with:

BASE_VERSION_NEW=0.7.3

Step 3

Run script update_version_everywhere.sh.

Step 4

Upload binaries from appveyour to github

What does script update_version_everywhere.sh do:

• It will update version information in all project files (*.pro, *.cpp, ci/cd files etc).
• Create new commit with the text "Update version to 0.7.3" (according to current example)
• Push current branch into the repository.
• Add tag version v0.7.3

Cancel release

You need to remove version tag, example:

git tag -d v0.7.3
git push origin :refs/tags/v0.7.3

How to build a specific version

Example for version 0.7.3.

Get required code and trigger a build:

git clone [email protected]:namecheap/flameshot.git
cd flameshot/
git checkout tags/v0.7.3 -b build/v0.7.3
git push origin -u build/v0.7.3

Appveyor CI will be triggered automatically on any push.

Open the link https://ci.appveyor.com/project/namecheap/flameshot in a browser and wait for a new build.

Note: you can get currently install version from Windows Software center (Flameshot is included into approved NameCheaps Software list) or just as for someone from Local IT department.
