# Release Process
## Branches
Recommended Gitea layout:
- `main`: stable released source code
- `dev`: active development work
Release builds should come from `main`.
## Version Numbers
Use semantic versioning:
```text
MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
```
Examples:
- `1.0.0`: first stable release
- `1.0.1`: bug fix
- `1.1.0`: new feature
Update version fields in:
```text
TaskbarLauncher.csproj
```
## Build Release Zip
Small package:
```powershell
.\Tools\New-TaskbarLauncherRelease.ps1
```
Self-contained package:
```powershell
.\Tools\New-TaskbarLauncherRelease.ps1 -SelfContained
```
Output:
```text
builds/releases/TaskbarLauncher-vVERSION-small.zip
```
## Publish to Gitea
1. Commit all source changes.
2. Merge `dev` into `main`.
3. Tag the release:
```powershell
git tag v1.0.0
git push origin main
git push origin v1.0.0
```
4. In Gitea, create a release from the tag.
5. Upload the zip from `builds/releases`.
Older releases stay available through Gitea Releases and Git tags.
