Releasing

To release a new version from the main branch:

Ensure you have a clean up to date checkout of the main branch
Ensure that the container image has been synchronized to the public repository
Run make prepare-patch-release or make prepare-minor-release or make prepare-major-release depending on the desired next version number to create a local release tag.

Note
if you need to abort the release at this point, delete the local tag that you just created.
Publish the release tag with make publish-release
Run final sanity test of the release version (i.e. verify that the action works with the specific release version specified)
Run make prepare-floating-tags to update the floating tags based on the current commit’s release tag
Publish the floating tags with make publish-floating-tags

To roll back the floating tags to a previous release

Ensure you have a clean up to date checkout of the tag to revert the floating tags to
Run make prepare-floating-tags to update the floating tags based on the current commit’s release tag
Publish the floating tags with make publish-floating-tags
