Doing a release
===============
Doing a release of ``cryptography`` requires a few steps.
Security Releases
-----------------
In addition to the other steps described below, for a release which fixes a
security vulnerability, you should also include the following steps:
* Request a `CVE from MITRE`_. Once you have received the CVE, it should be
included in the :doc:`changelog`. Ideally you should request the CVE before
starting the release process so that the CVE is available at the time of the
release.
* Ensure that the :doc:`changelog` entry credits whoever reported the issue.
* The release should be announced on the `oss-security`_ mailing list, in
addition to the regular announcement lists.
Verifying OpenSSL version
-------------------------
The release process creates wheels bundling OpenSSL for Windows, macOS, and
Linux. Check that the Windows, macOS, and Linux builders (both
``pyca/cryptography-manylinux1`` and ``pyca/cryptography-manylinux2010``) have
the latest OpenSSL. If anything is out of date follow the instructions for
upgrading OpenSSL.
Upgrading OpenSSL
-----------------
Use the `upgrading OpenSSL issue template`_.
Bumping the version number
--------------------------
The next step in doing a release is bumping the version number in the
software.
* Update the version number in ``src/cryptography/__about__.py``.
* Update the version number in ``vectors/cryptography_vectors/__about__.py``.
* Set the release date in the :doc:`/changelog`.
* Do a commit indicating this.
* Send a pull request with this.
* Wait for it to be merged.
Performing the release
----------------------
The commit that merged the version number bump is now the official release
commit for this release. You will need to have ``gpg`` installed and a ``gpg``
key in order to do a release. Once this has happened:
* Run ``python release.py {version}``.
The release should now be available on PyPI and a tag should be available in
the repository.
Verifying the release
---------------------
You should verify that ``pip install cryptography`` works correctly:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import cryptography
>>> cryptography.__version__
'...'
>>> import cryptography_vectors
>>> cryptography_vectors.__version__
'...'
Verify that this is the version you just released.
For the Windows wheels check the builds for the ``cryptography-wheel-builder``
job and verify that the final output for each build shows it loaded and linked
the expected OpenSSL version.
Post-release tasks
------------------
* Update the version number to the next major (e.g. ``0.5.dev1``) in
``src/cryptography/__about__.py`` and
``vectors/cryptography_vectors/__about__.py``.
* Close the `milestone`_ for the previous release on GitHub.
* Add new :doc:`/changelog` entry with next version and note that it is under
active development
* Send a pull request with these items
* Check for any outstanding code undergoing a deprecation cycle by looking in
``cryptography.utils`` for ``DeprecatedIn**`` definitions. If any exist open
a ticket to increment them for the next release.
* Send an email to the `mailing list`_ and `python-announce`_ announcing the
release.
