Release

Release cycle

Currently we don't release regularly. Whenever we think it makes sense to release a new version we do it. You might want to ask in our Slack channel external-dns when the next release will come out.

Staging Release cycle

A new staging image is released weekly and can be found at gcr.io/k8s-staging-external-dns/external-dns.

There is a time lag between merging changes into the master branch and the subsequent creation of the staging image.

Example command to fetch 10 most recent staging images:

export EXT_DNS_VERSION="v0.18.0"
curl -sLk https://gcr.io/v2/k8s-staging-external-dns/external-dns/tags/list | jq | grep "$EXT_DNS_VERSION" | tail -n 10

Versioning convention

These are the conventions that we will be using for releases following 0.7.6:

  • Patch version should be updated if we need to merge bugfixes, e.g. provider a does need a fix in order make updates working again. I would see updating or improving documentation here.

  • Minor version should be updated if new features are implemented in existing providers or new provider get introduced.

  • Major version should be upgraded if we introduce breaking changes.

How to release a new image

Prerequisite

We use https://github.com/cli/cli to automate the release process. Please install it according to the official documentation.

You must be an official maintainer of the project to be able to do a release.

Steps

  • Run scripts/releaser.sh to create a new GitHub release. Alternatively you can create a release in the GitHub UI making sure to click on the autogenerate release node feature.
  • The step above will trigger the Kubernetes based CI/CD system Prow. Verify that a new image was built and uploaded to gcr.io/k8s-staging-external-dns/external-dns.
  • Create a PR in the k8s.io repo by taking the current staging image using the sha256 digest. They can be obtained with scripts/get-sha256.sh. Once the PR is merged, the image will be live with the corresponding tag specified in the PR.
  • Verify that the image is pullable with the given tag
    • docker run registry.k8s.io/external-dns/external-dns:v0.16.0 --version
  • Branch out from the default branch and run scripts/version-updater.sh to update the image tag used in the kustomization.yaml and in documentation.
  • Create the PR with this version change.
  • Create an issue to release the corresponding Helm chart via the chart release process (below) assigned to a chart maintainer
  • Once the PR is merged, all is done :-)

OK, I won't notify you again about this release, but will get in touch when a new version is available. If you'd rather skip all updates until the next major or minor version, let me know by commenting @dependabot ignore this major version or @dependabot ignore this minor version. You can also ignore all major, minor, or patch releases for a dependency by adding an ignore condition with the desired update_types to your config file.

If you change your mind, just re-open this PR and I'll resolve any conflicts on it.
