Releasing

Build the assets

Section titled “Build the assets”
Terminal window
make release

This builds the server for Linux, Windows and macOS (Intel and Apple silicon), builds the desktop apps, and zips everything into release/dist/ through scripts/package_release.sh.

Publish

Section titled “Publish”
  1. Tag the commit: git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0.
  2. Create a GitHub release for the tag and write the notes.
  3. Upload the files from release/dist/:
    • cove-server-linux-amd64.zip, cove-server-windows-amd64.zip, cove-server-darwin-*.zip
    • cove-desktop-mac-universal.zip, cove-desktop-windows-amd64.zip, cove-desktop-linux-amd64.zip
    • the Android APK and a SHA256SUMS file
  4. Push Docker images: make docker/build-multi DOCKER_USER=<name>.

The website

Section titled “The website”

The download page reads the latest release at build time, matching asset names by pattern, so keep the naming above. Rebuild the website after publishing (the deploy workflow does this automatically on release: published).
