Creating TeamMentor release 3.3.2 (3.2 version with HotFix 2)

Now that the two P0 issues are marked as fixed (after a round of QA):
image

It's time to publish the 3.3.2 TeamMentor release.

At the moment the code changes are in the 3_3_2_HotFix branch

image

Which contains the commits that made up the 3.3.2 – RC2 version (with the last commit being the 852d877290)

image

As set in our release process, to make this the official official version, I will remove the RC2 bit from the version number and make it the final commit for this release.

So I opened a Git Bash on a local copy of that repo TeamMentor/Master (same thing as doing a git clone and pull of the 3_3_2_HotFix branch)

image

A quick look using git log --decorate --graph --oneline --date-order shows that the latest commit is 852d877 (which matches the version at GitHub that was QAed and checked for this release)

image

My next steps was to change the version number,

... commit that small change:

image

... add the v3.3.2 tag (see Adding Tags to TeamMentor Master repository for more details on tagging)

image

... and pushed into TeamMentor/Master the commit and tag:

image

Just to confirm, let’s take a look at GitHub:

Main page shows the 3.3.2 commit

… so does the commit page:

… and the Tags view:

…and the Network graph:

The deployment of this version is now passed to the hands of the Infrastructure team, which will update all TM sites currently managed by SI.

On the development side, the last thing to do, is to add this version to the TeamMentor/Dev fork so that it is part of the next release

At the moment TeamMentor/Dev is on this commit

image

In a local copy of the this repo, I did a pull from TeamMentor/Master

image

... which failed (on master) because there has been updates done on this repo (since the last merge).

So I created a new branch called 3_3_2_merge

image

Forced pulled the 3.3.2 code into it (the code from TeamMentor/Master)

image

switch back into master branch and merged with 3_3_2_merge branch

image

…which had (as expected) a couple conflicts), with I’m going to resolve using

image

… which lists the conflicts

image

... and in this case was mainly the version number:

image

... easily fixed by making the local version the one to use:

image

... next I resolved the dlls by selecting one of them (doesn’t really mater since they will be recompiled soon)

image

... and commited the merge:

image

....which we can now see on Gitk:

image

The final step is to push these commits into TeamMentor/Dev

image

.... which can be seen on the following couple graphs:

image

The image above shows the TeamMentor/Dev commit done before the 3.3.2 merge, and below is the last commit made

It might be easier to read with out the labels (in blue is the TeamMentor/Dev code in black is the TeamMentor/Master code:
