## Preparations
Specify the release version.
```
VERSION=2.6.3
```
Add your signing key to your Git configuration file, if not already there.
```
vim $HOME/.gitconfig
[user]
email = michael.friedrich@icinga.com
name = Michael Friedrich

```
### Issues
Check issues at https://github.com/Icinga/icingaweb2
### Backport Commits
For minor versions not branched off git master you need
to manually backport any and all commits from the
master branch which should be part of this release.
### Authors
Update the [.mailmap](.mailmap) and [AUTHORS](AUTHORS) files:
```
git log --use-mailmap | grep '^Author:' | cut -f2- -d' ' | sort | uniq > AUTHORS
```
## Version
Update the version in the following files:
* [VERSION](VERSION)
* Application Version: [library/Icinga/Application/Version.php](library/Icinga/Application/Version.php)
* Module Versions in `modules/*/module.info`
Commands:
```
echo "v$VERSION" > VERSION
sed -i "s/const VERSION = '.*'/const VERSION = '$VERSION'/g" library/Icinga/Application/Version.php
find . -type f -name '*.info' -exec sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" {} \;
```
## Changelog
Link to the milestone and closed=1 as filter.
## Git Tag
```
git commit -v -a -m "Release version $VERSION"
```
Create a signed tag (tags/v) on the `master` branch (for major
releases) or the `support` branch (for minor releases).
```
git tag -s -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION
```
Push the tag:
```
git push --tags
```
**For major releases:** Create a new `support` branch:
```
git checkout master
git checkout -b support/2.6
git push -u origin support/2.6
```
## Package Builds

```
#### Release Commit
Set the `Version`, `Revision` and `changelog` inside the spec file.
```
sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" icingaweb2.spec
