How to create a new release version

Creating a release version from the master branch

This is just a little memo how to create a release version from the master branch. The following shell commands were used to create the v1.1 release:

cd Modelica_DeviceDrivers
mkdir /tmp/MDD; cp -r * /tmp/MDD
git checkout -b tmp
# in case status for cut of release is at an point different from HEAD:
#      git reset --hard <hash of where the release should be cut from>
git checkout release
git merge -s ours tmp
rm -r *
mkdir "Modelica_DeviceDrivers 1.1"
cd Modelica_DeviceDrivers\ 1.1/
cp -r /tmp/MDD/* .
rm -r Incubate/
mv README.md screenshot.png ..
# Generate help html documentation (in Dymola)
# Remove Incubate entry from package.order file
# might want to adapt README.md and librarinfo.mos
cd ..
git add -A .
git commit --amend -m"Created v1.1 release"
git tag v1.1
git push origin release
git push --tags origin v1.1
git branch -D tmp
