cmux Release
Prefer the /release command. It determines the new version (minor by default), gathers commits since the last tag, updates CHANGELOG.md, runs ./scripts/bump-version.sh, commits, runs ./scripts/release-pretag-guard.sh, then tags and pushes.
The docs changelog page at web/app/[locale]/(landing)/docs/changelog/page.tsx renders from CHANGELOG.md, so there is no separate docs changelog source to update.
Version bumping
./scripts/bump-version.sh # minor (0.15.0 -> 0.16.0)
./scripts/bump-version.sh patch # 0.15.0 -> 0.15.1
./scripts/bump-version.sh major # 0.15.0 -> 1.0.0
./scripts/bump-version.sh 1.0.0 # explicit version
This updates MARKETING_VERSION and CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION. The build number auto-increments and must increase for Sparkle auto-update to work. Bump the minor version unless explicitly asked otherwise.
Tagging
./scripts/release-pretag-guard.sh
git tag vX.Y.Z
git push origin vX.Y.Z
gh run watch --repo manaflow-ai/cmux
If the pretag guard fails, run ./scripts/bump-version.sh, commit the build-number bump, then retry.
