Release Process
===============
This document describes the process for creating new releases.
1. **Increment the Python version:** Create a PR that increments the Python
package version. See `this example`_.
2. **Download the Travis-built wheels:** Once Travis has completed the tests,
the wheels from this commit can be downloaded from S3 to do testing, etc.
The URL is structured like this:
``https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/<hash>/<wheel-name>``
where ``<hash>`` is replaced by the ID of the commit and the ``<version>``
is the incremented version from the previous step. The ``<wheel-name>`` can
be determined by looking at the OS/Version matrix in the documentation_.
3. **Create a release branch:** This branch should also have the same commit ID as the
previous two steps. In order to create the branch, locally checkout the commit ID
i.e. ``git checkout <hash>``. Then checkout a new branch of the format
``releases/<release_number>``. The release number must match the increment in
the first step. Then push that branch to the ray repo:
``git push upstream releases/<release_number>``.
4. **Testing:** Before a release is created, significant testing should be done.
Run the scripts `ci/stress_tests/run_stress_tests.sh`_ and
`ci/stress_tests/run_application_stress_tests.sh`_ and make sure they
pass. You **MUST** modify the autoscaler config file and replace
``<<RAY_RELEASE_HASH>>`` and ``<<RAY_RELEASE_VERSION>>`` with the appropriate
values to test the correct wheels. This will use the autoscaler to start a bunch of
machines and run some tests. Any new stress tests should be added to this
script so that they will be run automatically for future release testing.
5. **Resolve release-blockers:** Should any release blocking issues arise,
there are two ways these issues are resolved: A PR to patch the issue or a
revert commit that removes the breaking change from the release. In the case
of a PR, that PR should be created against master. Once it is merged, the
release master should ``git cherry-pick`` the commit to the release branch.
If the decision is to revert a commit that caused the release blocker, the
release master should ``git revert`` the commit to be reverted on the
release branch. Push these changes directly to the release branch.
6. **Download all the wheels:** Now the release is ready to begin final
testing. The wheels are automatically uploaded to S3, even on the release
branch. The wheels can ``pip install``ed from the following URLs:
.. code-block:: bash
export RAY_HASH=... # e.g., 618147f57fb40368448da3b2fb4fd213828fa12b
export RAY_VERSION=... # e.g., 0.6.6
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp27-cp27mu-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp35-cp35m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp37-cp37m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp27-cp27m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp35-cp35m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp36-cp36m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
pip install -U https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/ray-wheels/$RAY_HASH/ray-$RAY_VERSION-cp37-cp37m-macosx_10_6_intel.whl
7. **Final Testing:** Send a link to the wheels to the other contributors and
core members of the Ray project. Make sure the wheels are tested on Ubuntu,
Mac OSX 10.12, and Mac OSX 10.13+. This testing should verify that the
wheels are correct and that all release blockers have been resolved. Should
a new release blocker be found, repeat steps 5-7.
8. **Upload to PyPI Test:** Upload the wheels to the PyPI test site using
``twine`` (ask Robert to add you as a maintainer to the PyPI project). You'll
need to run a command like
.. code-block:: bash
twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ray/.whl/*
assuming that you've downloaded the wheels from the ``ray-wheels`` S3 bucket
and put them in ``ray/.whl``, that you've installed ``twine`` through
``pip``, and that you've made PyPI accounts.
Test that you can install the wheels with pip from the PyPI test repository
with
.. code-block:: bash
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ ray
Then start Python, make sure you can ``import ray`` and run some simple Ray
scripts. Make sure that it is finding the version of Ray that you just
installed by checking ``ray.__version__`` and ``ray.__file__``.
Do this at least for MacOS and for Linux, as well as for Python 2 and Python
3. Also do this for different versions of MacOS.
9. **Upload to PyPI:** Now that you've tested the wheels on the PyPI test
repository, they can be uploaded to the main PyPI repository. Be careful,
**it will not be possible to modify wheels once you upload them**, so any
mistake will require a new release. You can upload the wheels with a command
like
.. code-block:: bash
twine upload --repository-url https://upload.pypi.org/legacy/ ray/.whl/*
Verify that
.. code-block:: bash
pip install -U ray
finds the correct Ray version, and successfully runs some simple scripts on
both MacOS and Linux as well as Python 2 and Python 3.
10. **Create a GitHub release:** Create a GitHub release through the `GitHub website`_.
The release should be created at the commit from the previous
step. This should include **release notes**. Copy the style and formatting
used by previous releases. Create a draft of the release notes containing
information about substantial changes/updates/bugfixes and their PR number.
Once you have a draft, make sure you solicit feedback from other Ray
developers before publishing. Use the following to get started:
.. code-block:: bash
git pull origin master --tags
git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --pretty=format:"%s" | sort
