Deploying

Introduction

There are currently two pieces to the deployment, GitHub Actions + sonatype, with a few random extra bits of knowledge.

As of 2.6.4 the release is automated using gradle nexus plugins. See the build.gradle file for details.

-SNAPSHOT releases are automatically made when anything is merged to main.

To do a full release, "Draft a new Release" from the GitHub Releases page.

Make a PR with these changes...

Bump the patch segment of the version in build.gradle. This ensures that on the next merge to the main branch, the published SNAPSHOT will have a new version.
- If the release turns from a patch to a minor, you can make a small PR just to update this, which will also make the first snapshot.
- You never need -SNAPSHOT on the version, the automated build deals with this.
Update the readme where versions are noted.
