Open PowerShell releases use [Semantic Versioning][semver]. Until we hit 1.0,
each sprint results in a bump to the minor version number, and interim bugfix
releases bump the patch number.
PowerShell releases use [Semantic Versioning][semver].
Until we hit 1.0, each sprint results in a bump to the minor version number,
and interim bugfix releases bump the patch number.
When a particular commit is chosen as a release, we create an
[annotated tag][tag] that names the release and list the major changes since the
previous release. An annotated tag has a message (like a commit), and is *not*
the same as a lightweight tag. Create one with `git tag -a vX.Y.Z`. Our
convention is to prepend the `v` to the semantic version. The summary (first
line) of the annotated tag message should be the full release title, e.g.
'v0.3.0 alpha release of Open PowerShell'.

see the tag and present it as an option when creating a new [release][]. Start
the release, use the annotated tag's summary as the title, and save the release
as a draft while you upload the binary packages.

------------
The `build.psm1` module contains a `Start-PSPackage` function to build Linux
packages. It requires that `Start-PSBuild -Publish` has been run. The output
*must* be published so that it includes the runtime. This function will
automatically deduce the correct version from the most recent annotated tag
(using `git describe`), and if not specified, will build a package for the
current platform.

however, an RPM can be created on Ubuntu. This requires installing the `rpm`
package, building with `-Runtime centos.7.1-x64`, and packaging with `-Type rpm`.

Windows
-------
The `Start-PSBuild` function delegates to `New-MSIPackage` which creates a
Windows Installer Package of Open PowerShell. It uses the Windows Installer XML
Toolset (WiX) to generate a `OpenPowerShell_<version>.msi`, which installs a
self-contained copy of the current version (commit) of Open PowerShell. It
copies the output of the published PowerShell application to a version-specific
folder in Program Files, and installs a shortcut in the start-menu. It can be
uninstalled through Programs and Features.

Note that Open PowerShell is always self-contained, thus using it does not
require installing it. The output of `Start-PSBuild -Publish` includes a
`powershell.exe` executable which can simply be launched.
