Release Guide

Steps to Release a New Version

1. Update CHANGELOG.md:

   • Add version entry: ## [X.Y.Z] - YYYY-MM-DD with changes

2. Update version in VolumeGrid/Info.plist:

   • Update CFBundleShortVersionString to X.Y.Z
   • Update CFBundleVersion to build number (e.g., 1, 2, 3)

3. Update version in VolumeGrid.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj:

   • Update MARKETING_VERSION = X.Y.Z (must match CFBundleShortVersionString)
   • Update CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = N (must match CFBundleVersion)

4. Commit if changes were made:

git add CHANGELOG.md VolumeGrid/Info.plist VolumeGrid.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
git commit -m "chore: update version to vX.Y.Z"
git push origin main

5. Create a GitHub release:

git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"
git push origin vX.Y.Z

6. Build the DMG installer:

Edit build-dmg.sh to set VERSION and TIMESTAMP, then run:

chmod +x build-dmg.sh
./build-dmg.sh
