Release Updates

Run the Newfold Prepare Release github action to automatically bump the version (either patch, minor or major version), and update build and language files all at once. It will create a PR with changed files for review. Using this workflow, we can skip all the manual steps below (steps 1-6).

$3

1. Merge approved PRs into main branch.

2. Update version numbers (in both package.json and bootstrap.php files).

3. Create a fresh build: npm run build.

4. Update language/translation/i18n files: composer run i18n.

5. Commit above change in new branch release/x.y.z matching the version number.

6. Create release PR.

7. Get approval on releaes PR. Merge.

8. Issue a release via github.

- By default, you'll always create a release from target: main branch. In case we are making changes to crazydomains then we must switch to the legacy branch do the fixes there and create a release from target: legacy branch as it currently runs older version.
- Click Generate release notes button it will basically collect all the pull requests that came in from the previous release to now and then just create a summary.
- The Satis workflow will trigger an alert to Satis that newer version of ecommerce module is released and rebuild Satis (https://github.com/newfold-labs/satis/)
- The release workflow will publish the latest js package on npmjs (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@newfold/wp-module-ecommerce)

$3

Note: if no plugin changes are required we can let dependabot create a PR for the php module and the js package. If any plugin changs are required, please do the following in a branch on the respective plugin repo:

1. In composer.json file, update version of newfold-labs/wp-module-ecommerce to latest

2. In package.json file, @newfold/wp-module-ecommerce version number to latest

3. Run command, npm i --legacy-peer-deps

4. Package-lock.json should auto update.

5. Once Satis starts showing updated version run below command for composer update, $ composer update newfold-labs/wp-module-ecommerce -W`

6. We need to create a branch (naming convention: dependencies/newfold-labs/wp-module-ecommerce-version_number).

7. Currently we don't have the permission to publish directly to the BlueHost plugin so, we need to create a fork basically of the repo then push it to that fork and then create a pull request against the develop branch.

8. The new release process is thus completed.
