Release Process

...

• Update the pdf of the online documentation and commit it
• Make sure you are using a Java 7 JDK, otherwise Groovy would be compiled without invoke dynamic support

• perform a clean checkout into a new, empty directory

  Code Block
  mkdir groovy-release cd groovy-release git clone git@github.com:groovy/groovy-core.git

• create a temporary release branch and change to it

  Code Block
  cd groovy-core/ (optional) git checkout branch_to_release_from git checkout -b release

• Change the release version information

  Code Block
  ./gradle.properties: groovyVersion = 2.0.0-rc-1 groovyBundleVersion = 2.0.0-rc-1

• commit the change

  Code Block
  git commit -a -m "RC-1 version change"

• Tag with that new release

  Code Block
  git tag -a GROOVY_2_0_0_RC_1 -m "tagging release of Groovy 2.0.0 rc 1"
