Release Process

Releases are performed in lockstep with open-telemetry/semantic-conventions releases.

Preparing a new release

Applies to major, minor and patch releases of open-telemetry/semantic-conventions.

  • Merge a PR to main with the following changes:
    • Update the CHANGELOG.md
      • The heading for the unreleased entries should be ## Unreleased
    • Bump the semanticConventionsVersion variable in build.gradle.kts to version of semantic-conventions to be released
    • Follow the instructions to generate the semantic conventions
  • Run the Prepare release branch workflow
    • Press the "Run workflow" button, and leave the default branch main selected
    • Review and merge the two pull requests it creates (one is targeted to the release branch and one is targeted to main)

Preparing a patch release

TODO(jack-berg): Define process for releasing a patch, which should add a 4th component to the semantic-convention release version, e.g. v1.21.0.1

Making the release

  • Run the Release workflow
    • Press the "Run workflow" button, then select the release branch from the dropdown list, e.g. release/v1.21.0, and click the "Run workflow" button below that.
    • This workflow will publish artifacts to maven central and will publish a GitHub release with release notes based on the change log.
