Create new release

New releases will only be accepted by project maintainers.

Versioning

We stick to the concepts of Semantic Versioning
Create a new version
- mvn tycho-versions:set-version -DnewVersion=<New Version>
Create a "raise version" Pull Request with the updated files.
After it was merged, create a new git tag with the same version.
