Orchestrator release

The orchestrator-core has no release schedule but is actively used and maintained by the workflow orchestrator group. Creating a new release is done by the developers of the project and the procedure is as follows.

Release candidates

When creating new features they can be released in so-called pre-releases on github. Depending on the feature type the developer will need to run bumpversion (major|minor|patch) and then bumpversion build --allow-dirty to create a new release candidate. This command will update the .bumpversion.cfg and the orchestrator.__init__.py files.

The next step would be to "Create a new release" -> "Fill in the tag and check the box, create tag upon release" and use the checkbox "pre-release."

The code will be pushed to pypi and installed in a project.

Official releases.

Official releases follow the same procedure as described above and can be either created from a release candidate by removing the -rc string from the .bumpversion.cfg and the orchestrator.__init__.py files. After that a new release can be created and the Autogenerate changelog option may be used.
