- [ ] Thank voluntary contributors in the Github release page (use ``git shortlog -s -n -e v0.5.3..origin/develop``).
- [ ] Make a final check that there are no platform-dependency issues in the ``solidity-test-bytecode`` repository.
2020-10-08 21:23:42 +00:00
- [ ] Check that all tests on the latest commit in ``develop`` are green.
- [ ] Click the `PUBLISH RELEASE` button on the release page, creating the tag.
- [ ] Wait for the CI runs on the tag itself (travis will push the source archive and the static linux binary onto the Github release page).
### Download Binaries
2020-07-22 14:22:21 +00:00
- [ ] Take the ``solc.exe`` binary from the ``b_win_release`` run of the released commit in circle-ci and add it to the release page as ``solc-windows.exe``.

- [ ] Take the ``solc`` binary from the ``b_osx`` run of the released commit in circle-ci and add it to the release page as ``solc-macos``.

- [ ] Copy ``soljson.js`` to ``solc-bin/bin/soljson-v$VERSION+commit.$COMMIT.js``
- [ ] Copy ``solc-static-linux`` from the release page to ``solc-bin/linux-amd64/solc-linux-amd64-v$VERSION+commit.$COMMIT``
- [ ] Make it executable.
- [ ] Copy ``solc-macos`` from the release page to ``solc-bin/macosx-amd64/solc-macosx-amd64-v$VERSION+commit.$COMMIT``
- [ ] Make it executable.
- [ ] Copy ``solc-windows.exe`` from the release page to ``solc-bin/windows-amd64/solc-windows-amd64-v$VERSION+commit.$COMMIT.exe``
- [ ] Run ``./update --reuse-hashes`` in ``solc-bin`` and verify that the script has updated ``list.js``, ``list.txt`` and ``list.json`` files correctly and that symlinks to the new release have been added in ``solc-bin/wasm/`` and ``solc-bin/emscripten-wasm32/``.
