# Publishing a New Version
This document outlines the process for publishing new versions of this project. We use a GitHub workflow for automated releases, but also provide manual steps for specific situations.
## Automated Publishing via GitHub Workflow (Recommended)
This is the preferred method for publishing new versions. It automates the entire process, including version bumping, tagging, building, and publishing.
1. **Prepare the Release:**
* **Choose the Version Increment:** Determine the appropriate semantic versioning increment (prerelease, prepatch, preminor, premajor, patch, minor, major).
* **Update `package.json`:** Use the `npm version` command to bump the version number. This command also supports creating pre-release versions using the `--preid pre` flag.
```bash
# Example: Increment to a new patch version
npm version patch --no-git-tag-version
# Example: Increment to a new minor version
npm version minor --no-git-tag-version
# Example: Increment to a new major version
npm version major --no-git-tag-version
# Example: Create a pre-release (e.g., -pre.0) version
npm version prepatch --preid pre --no-git-tag-version
# OR
npm version preminor --preid pre --no-git-tag-version
# OR
npm version premajor --preid pre --no-git-tag-version
# Example: Increment an existing pre-release version (e.g., -pre.0 to -pre.1)
npm version prerelease --preid pre --no-git-tag-version
```
* `--no-git-tag-version`: This prevents `npm version` from automatically creating a git tag, as the GitHub workflow will handle this later.
* `--preid pre`: Specifies that "pre" is the pre-release identifier.
* **Update the Changelog (`CHANGELOG.md`):** Add a new section for the release. The heading *must* exactly match the format `## <VERSION>`, where `<VERSION>` is the full version number from `package.json`. Describe the changes included in the release.
```markdown
## 1.2.3
* Added new feature X.
```
2. **Commit and Push:** Commit the changes to `package.json`, `package-lock.json` and `CHANGELOG.md` to a branch. Create a pull request (PR) for review. If you are an administrator, you may push directly, but a PR is generally recommended for code review.
3. **Run the GitHub Workflow:** Once the PR is merged (or changes pushed directly), trigger the "Build, Test, Release" GitHub workflow. This workflow is responsible for:
* Building the project.
* Running tests.
* Creating an NPM package.
* Building and pushing Docker images.
* Creating a GitHub Release.
* Creating a Git tag for the release.
## Manual Publishing (For Special Cases)
Use the following steps *only* when the automated workflow is not suitable (e.g., for debugging, specific environment needs).
1. **Update Version in `package.json`:** Modify the `version` field in `package.json` to the desired version number.
2. **Create and Push Git Tag:**
```bash
git tag vX.X.X # Replace X.X.X with the version number
git push origin --tags
```
3. **NPM Publish Options (Choose ONE):**
* **Option A: Publish only the full `tileserver-gl` version:**
```bash
npm publish --access public
```
* **Option B: Build and Publish both `tileserver-gl` and `tileserver-gl-light` using `publish.js`:**
```bash
# This script builds the light version and publishes both tileserver-gl and tileserver-gl-light to NPM.
node publish.js
```
* **Option C: Build only the `tileserver-gl-light` version (no publish):**
```bash
# This script ONLY builds the light version (e.g., for local testing or Docker image creation) without publishing.
node publish.js --no-publish
```
4. **Build and Push Docker Images:**
```bash
# Build the main image
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t maptiler/tileserver-gl:latest -t maptiler/tileserver-gl:X.X.X . # Replace X.X.X
docker push maptiler/tileserver-gl --all-tags
# Build the light image
cd light
docker buildx build --platform linux/amd64 -t maptiler/tileserver-gl-light:latest -t maptiler/tileserver-gl-light:X.X.X . # Replace X.X.X
docker push maptiler/tileserver-gl-light --all-tags
cd .. # Return to the project root
```
* Make sure you are logged into the docker registry before pushing. `docker login`
**Important Considerations for Manual Publishing:**
* **Consistency:** Ensure the version number in `package.json`, the Git tag, and the Docker image tags are identical.
* **Credentials:** Verify that you have the necessary permissions to push Docker images and publish to NPM.
* **Cleanliness:** Before building Docker images, ensure your working directory is clean to avoid including unwanted files in the image.
* **Error Handling:** Manually publishing is more prone to errors. Double-check each step to avoid issues.
