Release process

Release checklist

Before releasing anything, make sure that:

  • Everything works as expected on all platforms
  • The manual has been updated
  • The CHANGELOG has been updated
  • Theme files have been updated (if needed)
  • Example maps have been updated (if needed)
  • All commits have been pushed up to the repo

Windows specific requirements

Use the 64-bit Nim compiler and install the 32 and 64-bit MinGW compiler dependencies from the official Nim downloads page. Adjust the value of mingW32Dir in config.nims so it points to your MinGW32 installation.

The installer executable is generated by NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System). Install NSIS first, then make sure makensis.exe is available on the path.

The documentation related tasks must be executed under WSL on Windows.

Bump up the version in CURRENT_VERSION and docs/latest_version, then commit and push the changes.
