Informations for the repository maintainers

Publish a new version

The creation of a new version is done automatically by the readme-release.yml GitHub Action.

Whenever a push to the GitHub repository changes the install-php-extensions script, that Action creates a new tag, incrementing the patch level (for example, if the previous version was 1.2.3, it creates the tag 1.2.4). Before doing that, the Action waits for 30 seconds, so that maintainers can cancel the tag creation if they want to create a different tag (for example, 1.3.3).

Once this new tag is created automatically (or when maintainers push a new version-like tag to the repository), the Action creates a new draft release, attaching it the install-php-extensions script to it (so that users can download it via the https://github.com/mlocati/docker-php-extension-installer/releases/latest/download/install-php-extensions URL.

Once that draft release has been created, you have to:

1. go to the releases page
2. edit the newly created draft release
3. review the release notes
4. publish the release
