2. Release Checklist¶

We aim to release a new version of OpenWPM with each new Firefox release (~1 release per month). The following steps are necessary for a release:

Upgrade Firefox to the newest version.
1. Go to: https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-release/tags.
2. Find the commit hash for the Firefox release version you’d like to upgrade to.
3. Update the TAG variable in scripts/install-firefox.sh to that hash and the comment to the new tag name.
Run ./scripts/update.sh
Increment the version number in VERSION
Add a summary of changes since the last version to CHANGELOG
Squash and merge the release PR to master.
Publish a new release from https://github.com/openwpm/OpenWPM/releases:
1. Click “Draft a new release”.
2. Enter the “Tag version” and “Release title” as vX.X.X.
3. In the description:
  1. Include the text Updates OpenWPM to Firefox X if this release is also a new FF version.
  2. Include a link to the CHANGELOG, e.g. See the [CHANGELOG]() for details..
