The release

This section covers tasks to be done during each release.

  • check Release to npm workflow run logs to verify it discovered the new release
  • verify the release is available on NPM
• Publish the release to GitHub
  using ./kuboreleaser release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) publish-to-github or ...

Given 0.21's release date is 2023-07-04 per #9814 (comment)
is 0.22's RC still slated for 2023-07-13 ?

Asking because in go-libp2p we are planning to cut 0.29 on 2023-07-10 (a few days ahead of the Kubo 0.22 RC) - knowing this information would help us make a decision on whether we can give our release some more time (to test, include changes, etc.)

[BigLep]

is 0.22's RC still slated for 2023-07-13 ?

Good callout. This will push out at least a week. I have updated the issue description to say:

• Expected RC date: tentatively 2023-07-20 (to be confirmed by 2023-07-07)
• 🚢 Expected final release date: tentatively 2023-07-27 (to be confirmed by 2023-07-07)

[BigLep]

I updated the issue description.

• Expected RC date: 2023-07-20
• 🚢 Expected final release date: 2023-07-27

Any date changes will be communicated here.

[BigLep]

The RC will not happen on 2023-07-20 due to maintainer availability to make it happen and being inflight landing some in progress PRs. The new target date is 2023-07-24.

[BigLep]

My summary understanding of where we're at before doing the RC. (The issues/PRs themselves should be the source of truth though.)

• feat(gateway): support for ipip-412 parameters #9989 - I assume @lidel or @hacdias will get this merged
• fix: handle _redirects for If-None-Match headers boxo#412 - @aschmahmann will finish coding (and add test) and @lidel will review
• IPNS could not resolve name through Gateway #9927 - Needs @aschmahmann review
• update go-libp2p to v0.29.0 #10001 - @Jorropo will handle/merge
  • @Jorropo will do the necessary accompaniment of add bootstrap config for LAN DHT #9884 (and need review from someone)

[lidel]

The RC2 or the final version should include the Docker fix for ARM from #10021 (added to the MUST list above). Tested and confirmed the fix works as expected.

[Jorropo]

[Jorropo]

@aphelionz you are still on the list https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/blob/master/docs/EARLY_TESTERS.md#who-has-signed-up do you want to be removed / changed ?

[aphelionz]

@Jorropo Yes, for now at least.

Barring no blocking issues found, we expect to do the final release on Thursday, 2023-08-03. (The issue description has been updated.)

[BigLep]

The Kubo 0.22 release has been pushed back because we need to get the latest 0.29.x release. It wasn't available in time for 2023-08-04, and we don't release on Fridays. As a result, this has bumped to 2023-08-07.

[marten-seemann]

@BigLep I just merged the PR a minute ago. The release is available now: https://github.com/libp2p/go-libp2p/releases/tag/v0.29.1.

[rekpero]

@BigLep is there any update on the release?

[Jorropo]

@rekpero I'm working on it right now 🙂 if there are no surprises expect tomorrow late morning EU TZ in order to get review in.

Save of the RC1 checklist:

The release

This section covers tasks to be done during each release.

• Prepare the release branch and update version numbers accordingly
  using ./kuboreleaser --skip-check-before release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) prepare-branch or ...

  • create a new branch release-vX.Y.Z
    • use master as base if Z == 0
    • use release as base if Z > 0
  • update the CurrentVersionNumber in version.go in the master branch to vX.Y+1.0-dev
    • example
  • update the CurrentVersionNumber in version.go in the release-vX.Y branch to vX.Y.Z(-RCN)
    • example
  • create a draft PR from release-vX.Y to release
    • example
  • Cherry-pick commits from master to the release-vX.Y.Z using git cherry-pick -x <commit>
  • Add full changelog and contributors to the changelog
    • Replace the Changelog and Contributors sections of the changelog with the stdout of ./bin/mkreleaselog
      • do NOT copy the stderr
  • verify all CI checks on the PR from release-vX.Y to release are passing
  • Merge the PR from release-vX.Y to release using the Create a merge commit

• Run Thunderdome testing, see the Thunderdome release docs for details
  • create a PR and merge the experiment config into Thunderdome
• Create the release tag
  using ./kuboreleaser release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) tag or ...

  • This is a dangerous operation! Go and Docker publishing are difficult to reverse! Have the release reviewer verify all the commands marked with ⚠️!
  • ⚠️ tag the HEAD commit using git tag -s vX.Y.Z(-RCN) -m 'Prerelease X.Y.Z(-RCN)'
  • ⚠️ tag the HEAD commit of the release branch using git tag -s vX.Y.Z(-RCN) -m 'Release X.Y.Z(-RCN)'
  • ⚠️ verify the tag is signed and tied to the correct commit using git show vX.Y.Z(-RCN)
  • ⚠️ push the tag to GitHub using git push origin vX.Y.Z(-RCN)
    • do NOT use git push --tags because it pushes all your local tags
• Publish the release to DockerHub
  using ./kuboreleaser --skip-check-before --skip-run release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) publish-to-dockerhub or ...

  • Wait for Publish docker image workflow run initiated by the tag push to finish
  • verify the image is available on Docker Hub
• Publish the release to dist.ipfs.tech
  using ./kuboreleaser release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) publish-to-distributions or ...

  • check out ipfs/distributions

    • usage
  • create and merge the PR which updates dists/kubo/versions and dists/go-ipfs/versions ( and dists/kubo/current_version and dists/go-ipfs/current_version)
    • example
  • wait for the CI workflow run initiated by the merge to master to finish
  • verify the release is available on dist.ipfs.io
• Publish the release to NPM
  using ./kuboreleaser release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) publish-to-npm (⚠️ you might need to run the command a couple of times because GHA might not be able to see the new distribution straight away due to caching) or ...

  • run the Release to npm workflow
  • check Release to npm workflow run logs to verify it discovered the new release
  • verify the release is available on NPM
• Publish the release to GitHub
  using ./kuboreleaser release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) publish-to-github or ...

  • create a new release on GitHub
    • RC example
    • FINAL example
    • use the vX.Y.Z(-RCN) tag

• Promote the release
  using ./kuboreleaser release --version vX.Y.Z(-rcN) promote or ...

  • create an IPFS Discourse topic
    • prerelease example
    • release example

Release is here https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.22.0 🎉

[Jorropo]

@galargh the blocking last item on here is Update Kubo docs, running the workflow does not create the PR, what am I missing ?

[galargh]

Looks like you've already updated ipfs-docs last week - ipfs/ipfs-docs#1658. Since the repo is already up to date, the command is a no-op.

I have noticed another issue though. Since we released https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.21.1 after https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.22.0, the former was incorrectly marked as latest. Among other things, it means that ipfs/ipfs-docs#1668 was created. I now closed it and I manually set the v0.22.0 to latest. I'm also going to link this comment in ipfs/kuboreleaser#17 so that I remember to tackle it when I go through the rest of the feedback.

[Jorropo]

Oh I see thx, so I think this could be closed.
