Release Process

The objective is to release a version every six weeks. Ideally this should be one week before Firefox uplift dates; see https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar.

After an api-(minor|major) pull request is merged:

Update the pdfjs.config file:

1. Bump the major/minor version number of the versionPrefix.
2. Set baseVersion to the commit ID of the merged commit.

Releasing a new version

1. git fetch upstream
2. git checkout upstream/master
3. Create the ZIP file: gulp publish
4. Create the release on GitHub:
   1. Attach the ZIP file from the step above and include release notes
   2. Label the existing release as stable
   3. Label the new release as pre-release
5. Update pdfjs.config to bump both the stable and beta version numbers
6. Eat cake, a cookie or any other treat
