This page is a brain dump of the various items needed for a release. It needs some work...
Preparation
- request Bugzilla version update (on INFRA or if you are JMeter committer, ask for sufficient Bugzilla karma to do this yourself)
- ensure changes.xml is up to date
- update JMeterVersion.java (version and year), build.xml (version and docversion) and NOTICE (year)
- update xdocs/download_jmeter.xml to the new version
- build site documents, having first cleaned out existing files (so obsolete files will be removed):
Wiki Markup \[clean-docs\] then \[docs-site\]
- update docs tree in SVN
- build code
- test
- GUI and non-GUI using host with graphic capability
- non-GUI only using host with no graphic capability
- ideally test on minimum supported Java and latest Java - especially for GUI
