The following artifacts are created as a result of releasing Fabric Chaincode Java:

• fabric-javaenv Docker images:
  • Docker Hub
  • GitHub Packages
• fabric-chaincode-shim Java libraries:
  • Maven Central
  • GitHub Packages

The following tasks are required before releasing:

• Ensure the version number in build.gradle is the required release version.
• Check the last branch build passed since exactly this repository state will be released.

Creating a GitHub release on the releases page will trigger the build to publish the new release.

When drafting the release, create a new tag for the new version (with a v prefix). For example: v2.1.4

See previous releases for examples of the title and description.

• Update the version number in build.gradle to the next version.
• Update image version numbers in fabric-chaincode-docker/build.gradle to match the next version.
• Update the fabric-chaincode-shim dependency version in all build.gradle and pom.xml files within fabric-chaincode-integration-test/src/contracts to match the next version.
• Update the fabric-chaincode-shim dependency version in all build.gradle, build.gradle.kts and pom.xml files within examples to match the last released version.
• Check that COMPATIBILITY.md is correct and update if required.
