Prepare Release 10.2.3

[popescu-v]

Description

• Preparation

  • Create a prepare-release-10.2.3 branch, based on the dev-v10 branch; check out the prepare-release-10.2.3 branch
  • Update the README.txt and WHATSNEW.txt in the packaging/common/khiops directory
  • Update the [PDF documentation][pdf-docs]
  • Update the technical repo [khiops-win-install-assets][win-install-assets]
    • Update the versions of all assets that require an update, namely:
      • Khiops Visualization
      • Khiops Covisualization
      • Khiops PDF Docs
      • Java JRE installer
      • MS MPI installer
  • Update Khiops version to 10.2.3-rc.1 in the src/Learning/KWUtils/KWKhiopsVersion.h header file
  • Create PR on the prepare-release-10.2.3 branch and have it reviewed
  • Once the PR is approved, merge it into the dev-v10 branch
  • Create the 10.2.3-rc.1 pre-release tag on the dev-v10 branch

• Full Test Loop

  • Push the 10.2.3-rc.1 pre-release tag
    • This will create a pre-release entry in the [release section][khiops-releases] with all the
      the CICD generated packages
  • Execute the end-to-end tests (aka. LearningTest) in all supported environments
    • If there are major issues, fix them (making issues, PRs) and go back to "Create pre-release tag..."
  • Execute the [manual tests for the GUI packages][manual-tests]

• Finalize the Release

  • Update src/Learning/KWUtils/KWKhiopsVersion.h to the final release tag 10.2.3
  • For a MAJOR or MINOR release: Merge dev into main (via PR)
    • PATCH releases are kept and tagged *-hotfix branch
  • Create the final release tag (see also [Versioning][versioning]):
    • For a MAJOR or MINOR release: Tag the main branch (ex. git tag v10.3.0 then git push --tags)
    • For a PATCH release: Tag the corresponding *-hotfix (ex. git tag 10.2.1 then git push --tags)
  • Copy and paste the release notes from packaging/common/khiops/WHATSNEW.txt to in the new
    [github release entry][khiops-releases]
  • Remove any packages that haven't been deemed to release
    • We create more package than we release for testing purposes
  • Sign the Windows package and replace it in the release
  • Release enablers: khiops-python, khiops-notebook.
    • At this point the update of the website is unblocked

• Final Git Manipulations

  • Only for MAJOR or MINOR releases, update the main
  • Create branch *-hotfix branched from the tagged commit in main
  • Make the dev branch point to main
    • Locally execute git fetch, then git switch main, git switch dev and git reset --hard main
    • In the repo's [branch protecting settings][branch-settings] remove temporarily "Require a pull
      request before merging"
    • Locally execute git push
    • Restore in the [branch protecting settings][branch-settings] "Require a pull request before
      merging"
