Follow these steps to release a new <version> of Lincheck.

1. Checkout develop branch:
   git checkout develop

2. Retrieve the most recent develop:
   git pull

3. Make sure the master branch is fully merged into develop:
   git merge origin/master

4. Replace <old-version> with <version>:

   • in README.md
   • in docs/v.list
   • in gradle.properties
   • in all the published subprojects (common, jvm-agent, trace) gradle.properties files
     • upon new Lincheck release, all subprojects should have the same version

5. Commit the updated gradle.properties:
   git add gradle.properties README.md docs/v.list
git commit -m "Release lincheck-<version>"

6. Create a tag related to the releasing <version>:
   git tag lincheck-<version>

7. Push the release commit and the tag:
   git push
git push origin lincheck-<version>

8. Merge the new version into master:
   git checkout master
git merge develop
git push

10. Press 'deploy' button in the Teamcity publish configuration. Set releaseVersion property to <version> in the pop-up window. Make sure that the build succeeds. After the task succeeds, the artifact should be uploaded to https://central.sonatype.com/ automatically (may take several minutes).

    • Create a release named lincheck-<version>.
    • Write a release notes message following the old ones as example of style.

12. Switch into develop branch back:
    git checkout develop

13. Update the version to the next SNAPSHOT one in gradle.properties.

    • also update the version in all published subprojects gradle.properties files
