How to Create a Release of GRPC Java (for Maintainers Only)
===============================================================
Build Environments
------------------
We deploy GRPC to Maven Central under the following systems:
- Ubuntu 14.04 with Docker 13.03.0 that runs CentOS 7
- Windows 7 64-bit with Visual Studio
- Mac OS X 10.14.6
Other systems may also work, but we haven't verified them.
Common Variables
----------------
Many of the following commands expect release-specific variables to be set. Set
them before continuing, and set them again when resuming.
```bash
MAJOR=1 MINOR=7 PATCH=0 # Set appropriately for new release
VERSION_FILES=(
build.gradle
core/src/main/java/io/grpc/internal/GrpcUtil.java
examples/build.gradle
examples/pom.xml
examples/android/clientcache/app/build.gradle
examples/android/helloworld/app/build.gradle
examples/android/routeguide/app/build.gradle
examples/android/strictmode/app/build.gradle
examples/example-*/build.gradle
examples/example-*/pom.xml
)
```
Branching the Release
---------------------
The first step in the release process is to create a release branch and bump
the SNAPSHOT version. Our release branches follow the naming
convention of `v<major>.<minor>.x`, while the tags include the patch version
`v<major>.<minor>.<patch>`. For example, the same branch `v1.7.x`
would be used to create all `v1.7` tags (e.g. `v1.7.0`, `v1.7.1`).
1. Review the issues in the current release [milestone](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/milestones)
for issues that won't make the cut. Check if any of them can be
closed. Be aware of the issues with the [TODO:release blocker][] label.
Consider reaching out to the assignee for the status update.
2. For `master`, change root build files to the next minor snapshot (e.g.
``1.8.0-SNAPSHOT``).
```bash
git checkout -b bump-version master
# Change version to next minor (and keep -SNAPSHOT)
sed -i 's/[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\(.*CURRENT_GRPC_VERSION\)/'$MAJOR.$((MINOR+1)).0'\1/' \
"${VERSION_FILES[@]}"
sed -i s/$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH/$MAJOR.$((MINOR+1)).0/ \
compiler/src/test{,Lite}/golden/Test{,Deprecated}Service.java.txt
./gradlew build
git commit -a -m "Start $MAJOR.$((MINOR+1)).0 development cycle"
```
3. Go through PR review and submit.
4. Create the release branch starting just before your commit and push it to GitHub:
```bash
git fetch upstream
git checkout -b v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x \
$(git log --pretty=format:%H --grep "^Start $MAJOR.$((MINOR+1)).0 development cycle$" upstream/master)^
git push upstream v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x
```
5. Continue with Google-internal steps at go/grpc-java/releasing, but stop
before `Auto releasing using kokoro`.
6. Create a milestone for the next release.
7. Move items out of the release milestone that didn't make the cut. Issues that
may be backported should stay in the release milestone. Treat issues with the
'release blocker' label with special care.
8. Begin compiling release notes. This produces a starting point:
```bash
echo "## gRPC Java $MAJOR.$MINOR.0 Release Notes" && echo && \
git shortlog -e --format='%s (%h)' "$(git merge-base upstream/v$MAJOR.$((MINOR-1)).x upstream/v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x)"..upstream/v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x | cat && \
echo && echo && echo "Backported commits in previous release:" && \
git log --oneline "$(git merge-base v$MAJOR.$((MINOR-1)).0 upstream/v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x)"..v$MAJOR.$((MINOR-1)).0^
```
[TODO:release blocker]: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues?q=label%3A%22TODO%3Arelease+blocker%22
[TODO:backport]: https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/issues?q=label%3ATODO%3Abackport
Tagging the Release
-------------------
1. Verify there are no open issues in the release milestone. Open issues should
either be deferred or resolved and the fix backported. Verify there are no
[TODO:release blocker][] nor [TODO:backport][] issues (open or closed), or
that they are tracking an issue for a different branch.
2. Ensure that the Google-internal steps
at go/grpc-java/releasing#before-tagging-a-release are completed.
3. For vMajor.Minor.x branch, change `README.md` to refer to the next release
version. _Also_ update the version numbers for protoc if the protobuf library
version was updated since the last release.
```bash
git checkout v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x
git pull upstream v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x
git checkout -b release-v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH
# Bump documented gRPC versions.
# Also update protoc version to match protobuf version in gradle/libs.versions.toml.
${EDITOR:-nano -w} README.md
git commit -a -m "Update README etc to reference $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"
```
4. Change root build files to remove "-SNAPSHOT" for the next release version
(e.g. `0.7.0`). Commit the result and make a tag:
```bash
# Change version to remove -SNAPSHOT
sed -i 's/-SNAPSHOT\(.*CURRENT_GRPC_VERSION\)/\1/' "${VERSION_FILES[@]}"
sed -i s/-SNAPSHOT// compiler/src/test{,Lite}/golden/Test{,Deprecated}Service.java.txt
./gradlew build
git commit -a -m "Bump version to $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"
git tag -a v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH -m "Version $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"
```
5. Change root build files to the next snapshot version (e.g. `0.7.1-SNAPSHOT`).
Commit the result:
```bash
# Change version to next patch and add -SNAPSHOT
sed -i 's/[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+\(.*CURRENT_GRPC_VERSION\)/'$MAJOR.$MINOR.$((PATCH+1))-SNAPSHOT'\1/' \
"${VERSION_FILES[@]}"
sed -i s/$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH/$MAJOR.$MINOR.$((PATCH+1))-SNAPSHOT/ \
compiler/src/test{,Lite}/golden/Test{,Deprecated}Service.java.txt
./gradlew build
git commit -a -m "Bump version to $MAJOR.$MINOR.$((PATCH+1))-SNAPSHOT"
```
6. Go through PR review and push the release tag and updated release branch to
GitHub (DO NOT click the merge button on the GitHub page):
```bash
git checkout v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x
git merge --ff-only release-v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH
git push upstream v$MAJOR.$MINOR.x
git push upstream v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH
```
7. Close the release milestone.
8. Trigger build as described in "Auto releasing using kokoro" at
go/grpc-java/releasing.
It runs three jobs on Kokoro, one on each platform. See their scripts:
`linux_artifacts.sh`, `windows.bat`, and `macos.sh`. The mvn-artifacts/
outputs of each script is combined into a single folder and then processed
by `upload_artifacts.sh`, which signs the files and uploads to Sonatype.
9. Once all of the artifacts have been pushed to the staging repository, the
repository should have been closed by `upload_artifacts.sh`. Closing triggers
several sanity checks on the repository. If this completes successfully, the
repository can then be `released`, which will begin the process of pushing
the new artifacts to Maven Central (the staging repository will be destroyed
in the process). You can see the complete process for releasing to Maven
Central on the [OSSRH site](https://central.sonatype.org/pages/releasing-the-deployment.html).
10. We have containers for each release to detect compatibility regressions with
old releases. Generate one for the new release by following the [GCR image
generation instructions][gcr-image]. Summary:
```bash
# If you haven't previously configured docker:
gcloud auth configure-docker
# In main grpc repo, add the new version to matrix
${EDITOR:-nano -w} tools/interop_matrix/client_matrix.py
tools/interop_matrix/create_matrix_images.py --git_checkout --release=v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH \
--upload_images --language java
docker pull gcr.io/grpc-testing/grpc_interop_java:v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH
docker_image=gcr.io/grpc-testing/grpc_interop_java:v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH \
tools/interop_matrix/testcases/java__master
# Commit the changes
git commit --all -m "[interop] Add grpc-java $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH to client_matrix.py"
# Create a PR with the `release notes: no` label and run ad-hoc test against your PR
```
[gcr-image]: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/tools/interop_matrix/README.md#step-by-step-instructions-for-adding-a-gcr-image-for-a-new-release-for-compatibility-test
11. Update gh-pages with the new Javadoc. Generally the file is on repo1
15 minutes after publishing:
```bash
git checkout gh-pages
git pull --ff-only upstream gh-pages
rm -r javadoc/
wget -O grpc-all-javadoc.jar "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/grpc/grpc-all/$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH/grpc-all-$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH-javadoc.jar"
unzip -d javadoc grpc-all-javadoc.jar
patch -p1 < ga.patch
rm grpc-all-javadoc.jar
rm -r javadoc/META-INF/
git add -A javadoc
git commit -m "Javadoc for $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"
git push upstream gh-pages
```
Verify the current version is [live on grpc.io](https://grpc.io/grpc-java/javadoc/).
12. Add [Release Notes](https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/releases) for the new tag.
*Make sure that any backports are reflected in the release notes.*
Update README.md
----------------
After waiting ~1 day and verifying that the release is indexed on [Maven
Central](https://search.maven.org/search?q=g:io.grpc), cherry-pick the commit
that updated the README into the master branch.
```bash
git checkout -b bump-readme master
git cherry-pick v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH^
git push --set-upstream origin bump-readme
```
Create a PR and go through the review process
Update version referenced by tutorials
--------------------------------------
Update `params.grpc_vers.java` in
[config.yaml](https://github.com/grpc/grpc.io/blob/master/config.yaml)
of the grpc.io repository.
Notify the Community
--------------------
Post a release announcement to [grpc-io](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/grpc-io)
(`grpc-io@googlegroups.com`) with the title `gRPC-Java v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH
Released`. The email content should link to the GitHub release notes and include
a copy of them.
