Cutting a Deno release
Pre-flight checklist
- An up to date stable Rust toolchain
- A binary version of
deno
available (hopefully built frommain
) that is going to be available throughout any local building you might do. - Forks and local clones of
denoland/deno
,denoland/deno_std
,denoland/dotland
anddenoland/deno_docker
- Ensure that external dependencies are up-to date in
denoland/deno
(e.g.rusty_v8
,serde_v8
,deno_doc
,deno_lint
). - Ownership access on crates.io for the 19 (🙀) crates that you will be publishing. (Don't worry too much though as the main script publishing 18 of the crates allows recovery)
- Lot's of ☕
During this process main
branch (or any other branch that you're creating
release from) should be frozen and no commits should land until the release is
cut.
Updating deno_std
-
Checkout a branch for releasing
std
(e.g.release_#.#.#
). -
Open a PR on the
deno_std
repo that bumps the version inversion.ts
and updatesReleases.md
-
Before merging the PR, make sure that all tests pass when run using binary produced from bumping crates (point 3. from below).
-
Create a tag with the version number (without
v
prefix).
Updating the main repo
-
Checkout a branch for releasing crate dependencies (e.g.
deps_#.#.#
). -
Run
./tools/release/01_bump_dependency_crate_versions.ts
to increase the minor versions of all crates in thebench_util
,core
,ext
, andruntime
directories. -
Commit these changes with a commit message like
chore: bump crate version for #.#.#
and create a PR for this change. -
Make sure CI pipeline passes (DO NOT merge yet).
-
Run
./tools/release/02_publish_dependency_crates.ts
to publish these bumped crates tocrates.io
Make sure that
cargo
is logged on with a user that has permissions to publish those crates.If there are any problems when you publish, that require you to change the code, then after applying the fixes they should be committed and pushed to the PR.
-
Once all crates are published merge the PR.
-
Update your main branch and checkout another branch (e.g.
release_#.#.#
). -
Run
./tools/release/03_bump_cli_version.ts
to bump the CLI version. -
If you are doing a patch release, answer
y
to the Increment patch? prompt. -
Use the output of the above command to update
Releases.md
-
Create a PR for these changes.
-
Make sure CI pipeline passes.
-
Publish
cli
crate tocrates.io
-
Merge the PR.
-
Create a tag with the version number (with
v
prefix). -
Wait for CI pipeline on the created tag branch to pass.
The CI pipeline will create a release draft on GitHub (https://github.com/denoland/deno/releases).
-
Upload Apple M1 build to the release draft & to dl.deno.land.
-
Publish the release on Github
-
Update the Deno version on the website by updating https://github.com/denoland/dotland/blob/main/versions.json.
-
Push a new tag to
manual
. The tag must match the CLI tag; you don't need to create dedicated commit for that purpose, it's enough to tag the latest commit in that repo. -
For minor releases: make sure https://github.com/mdn/browser-compat-data has been updated to reflect Web API changes in this release. Usually done ahead of time by @lucacasonato.
Updating deno_docker
- Open a PR on the
deno_docker
repo that bumps the Deno version in all Dockerfiles, the README and the example Dockerfile - Create a tag with the version number (without
v
prefix).
