Release process

Release is automated by GitHub actions workflow configured in release.yaml file. It contains two jobs i.e. releasing current version to GitHub packages repository and creating a GitHub release with sources from release version.

To trigger release process one should push the tagged git commit to master branch with tag having the v prefix. Description of GitHub release has to be added manually after automatic release process but the version of release is taken from git tag.

In order to keep everything in order one have to follow Semantic Versioning rules. Additionally, there are SNAPSHOT releases that are published before official release and can be updated before the official release process.
