This document is a WIP.

If you’d like to do ‘real’ releases with your changes, the procedure is:

Device

• Update protobufs
• • cd proto
• • git checkout master && git pull
• • cd ..
• • git add proto
• • git commit -m "updating proto submodule to latest"
• run bin/regen-protos.sh
• edit version.properties and check it into the root project
• run bin/promote-release.sh - this should cause github to start a release build (see the CI actions)
• edit the draft release text and click publish

Update Protobufs

Android

TBD

iOS

TBD

Python

Pre-requistes

• Python Packages
• • pip3 install pdoc3
• • pip3 install pygatt
• • pip3 install pandoc
• • pip install twine
• https://pandoc.org/installing.html
• nanopb 0.4.4 installed

Instructions

• Update protobufs
• • cd proto
• • git checkout master && git pull
• • cd ..
• • git add proto
• • git commit -m "updating proto submodule to latest"
• run bin/regen-protos.sh
• bump the version in setup.py
• run bin/test-release.sh
• • Ensure no errors.
• run bin/upload-release.sh

I usually just edit setup.py to bump the version number, then run "bin/upload-release.sh" (though you should use bin/test-release.sh for the first time - which is just a dry deploy to the pypi test server). This script does the build (including new docs - which will end up in the git checkin) and upload to pypi. Then I do a git commit/push and tag wit the version number.
