mitmproxy/release

Release Checklist

These steps assume you are on the correct branch and have a git remote called origin that points to the mitmproxy/mitmproxy repo. If necessary, create a major version branch starting off the release tag (e.g. git checkout -b v4.x v4.0.0) first.

• Update CHANGELOG.
• Verify that the compiled mitmweb assets are up-to-date.
• Verify that all CI tests pass.
• Verify that mitmproxy/version.py is correct. Remove .dev suffix if it exists.
• Tag the release and push to Github.
  • git tag v4.0.0
  • git push origin v4.0.0
• Wait for tag CI to complete.

GitHub Releases

• Create release notice on Github here if not already auto-created by the tag.
• We DO NOT upload release artifacts to GitHub anymore. Simply add the following snippet to the notice: You can find the latest release packages at https://mitmproxy.org/downloads/.

PyPi

• The created wheel is uploaded to PyPi automatically.
• Please verify that https://pypi.python.org/pypi/mitmproxy has the latest version.

Homebrew

• The Homebrew maintainers are typically very fast and detect our new relese within a day.
• If you feel the need, you can run this from a macOS machine: brew bump-formula-pr --url https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/archive/v<version number here>

Docker

• The docker image is built by our CI workers and pushed to Docker Hub automatically.
• Please verify that https://hub.docker.com/r/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/tags/ has the latest version.
• The latest and latest-ARMv7 tags should auto-update. @mhils introduced this after the 5.0.0 release. Please verify that this is the case and remove this notice. For reference, this is how to do it manually: export VERSION=4.0.3 && docker pull mitmproxy/mitmproxy:$VERSION && docker tag mitmproxy/mitmproxy:$VERSION mitmproxy/mitmproxy:latest && docker push mitmproxy/mitmproxy:latest.

Docs

• ./build.sh. If everything looks alright, continue with
• ./upload-stable.sh,
• DOCS_ARCHIVE=true ./build.sh, and
• ./upload-archive.sh v4. Doing this now already saves you from switching back to an old state on the next release.

Website

• Update version here: https://github.com/mitmproxy/www/blob/master/src/config.toml
• Update docs menu here: https://github.com/mitmproxy/www/blob/master/src/themes/mitmproxy/layouts/partials/header.html
• Run ./build && ./upload-test.
• If everything looks alright at https://www-test.mitmproxy.org, run ./upload-prod.

Prepare for next release

• Last but not least, bump the major version on master in https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/master/mitmproxy/version.py and add a .dev suffix.
