Maintainer's guide
==================
Commit policy
-------------
* Pull requests from outside contributors require a review from a maintainer.
* Maintainers should avoid working on a master branch directly and create branches for everything. A code review from another maintainer is recommended but not required, use your best judgment.
Release process
---------------
Releases happen on a 6-week schedule. Currently due to a long break the date of the next release is not set.
* Update CHANGES.md with everything interesting since the last update.
* Update version numbers using the three-part x.y.z notation everywhere:
* The header in CHANGES.md (this is where the site looks for the latest version number)
* ``"version"`` attribute in package.json
* ``"version"`` attribute in package-lock.json (run `npm install`)
* Two places in docs/conf.py (``version`` and ``release``)
* Commit the version changes and tag the commit with the plain version number (no "v." or anything like that)
* Push the commit and the tags to master (``git push && git push --tags``)
Pushing the tag triggers the update process which can be monitored at http://highlightjs.org/api/release/
When something didn't work *and* it's fixable in code (version numbers mismatch, last minute patches, etc), simply make another release incrementing the third (revision) part of the version number.
