# Release Process
|
|
|
|
The following process is used when publishing new releases to NuGet.org:
|
|
|
|
1. **Ensure the CI workflow is fully green**
|
|
- Some of the integration tests are flaky and require re-running
|
|
- Once the state of the branch is known to be good, a release can proceed
|
|
- **The release workflow _does not_ run tests**
|
|
|
|
2. **Create a new Release in GitHub**
|
|
- Use the link on the repo home page to [Create a new release](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/csharp-sdk/releases/new)
|
|
- Click the 'Choose a tag' dropdown button
|
|
- Type the name using the `v{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{suffix}` pattern
|
|
- Click 'Create new tag: ... on publish'
|
|
- Click the 'Target' dropdown button
|
|
- Choose the 'Recent Commits' tab
|
|
- Select the commit to use for the release, ensuring it's one from above where CI is known to be green
|
|
- Click the 'Previous tag' dropdown button
|
|
- Choose the previous release to use for generating release notes
|
|
- Click the 'Generate release notes button'
|
|
- This will add release notes into the Release description
|
|
- The generated release notes include what has changed and the list of new contributors
|
|
- Verify the Release title
|
|
- It will be populated to match the tag name to be created
|
|
- This should be retained, using the release title format matching the `v{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{suffix}` format
|
|
- Augment the Release description as desired
|
|
- This content is presented used on GitHub and is not persisted into any artifacts
|
|
- Check the 'Set as a pre-release' button under the release description if appropriate
|
|
- Click 'Public release'
|
|
|
|
3. **Monitor the Release workflow**
|
|
- After publishing the release, a workflow will begin for producing the release's build artifacts and publishing the NuGet package to NuGet.org
|
|
- If the job fails, troubleshoot and re-run the workflow as needed
|
|
- Verify the package version becomes listed on at [https://nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ModelContextProtocol)
|
|
|
|
4. **Update the source to increment the version number**
|
|
- Immediately after publishing a new release, the [`/src/Directory.Build.Props`](../../src/Directory.Build.props) file needs to be updated to bump the version to the next expected release version
