# Release Guide
## Versioning (SemVer)
Format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
| Bump | When | Example |
|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|
| MAJOR | Breaking changes, major UI overhaul, incompatible data format changes | 1.0.0 → 2.0.0 |
| MINOR | New features, new panels/views, new integrations | 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 |
| PATCH | Bug fixes, performance improvements, small UI tweaks | 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 |
## Release Process
### 1. Prepare
```bash
# Make sure branch is clean and pushed
git status
git push origin <branch>
```
### 2. Create tag and push
```bash
git tag v<VERSION>
git push origin v<VERSION>
```
This triggers the `release.yml` GitHub Actions workflow which:
- Builds the app (ubuntu)
- Packages macOS arm64 + x64 (with code signing & notarization)
- Packages Windows (NSIS installer)
- Packages Linux (AppImage, deb, rpm, pacman)
- Creates a GitHub Release with all artifacts
### 3. Update release notes
After the workflow completes, edit the release notes:
```bash
gh release edit v<VERSION> --repo 777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
<paste release notes here>
EOF
)"
```
## Release Notes Template
```markdown
## Claude Agent Teams UI v<VERSION>
<1-2 sentence summary of the release>

## Changelog Guidelines
Write changelog entries from the **user's perspective**, not the developer's.
**Good:**
- "Add team member activity timeline with live status tracking"
- "Fix crash when opening sessions with corrupted JSONL data"
- "Improve session list loading speed by 3x with streaming parser"
**Bad:**
- "Refactor ChunkBuilder to use new pipeline"
- "Update dependencies"
- "Fix bug in useEffect cleanup"
Group entries by type: `What's New` > `Improvements` > `Bug Fixes` > `Breaking Changes` (if any).
## File Naming Convention
electron-builder generates these artifacts per platform:
| Platform | Versioned Name | Stable Name (for /latest/download) |
|------------------|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| macOS arm64 DMG | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-<VER>-arm64.dmg` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-arm64.dmg` |
| macOS x64 DMG | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-<VER>.dmg` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-x64.dmg` |
| macOS arm64 ZIP | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-<VER>-arm64-mac.zip` | — |
| macOS x64 ZIP | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-<VER>-mac.zip` | — |
| Windows | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-Setup-<VER>.exe` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-Setup.exe` |
| Linux AppImage | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-<VER>.AppImage` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI.AppImage` |
| Linux deb | `claude-agent-teams-ui_<VER>_amd64.deb` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-amd64.deb` |
| Linux rpm | `claude-agent-teams-ui-<VER>.x86_64.rpm` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-x86_64.rpm` |
| Linux pacman | `claude-agent-teams-ui-<VER>.pacman` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI.pacman` |
## Stable Download Links
The `upload-stable-links` job in `release.yml` re-uploads key assets with version-agnostic names.
This enables permanent links in README that always point to the latest release:
```
https://github.com/777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui/releases/latest/download/Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-arm64.dmg
```
GitHub automatically redirects `/releases/latest/download/FILENAME` to the asset from the most recent release. No README updates needed when releasing a new version.
## macOS Code Signing
macOS builds are signed and notarized via GitHub Actions secrets:
| Secret | Description |
|-------------------------------|------------------------------|
| `CSC_LINK` | Base64-encoded .p12 certificate |
| `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD` | Certificate password |
| `APPLE_ID` | Apple Developer account email |
| `APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD` | App-specific password from appleid.apple.com |
| `APPLE_TEAM_ID` | Apple Developer Team ID |
Without these secrets, macOS builds will be unsigned (users need to bypass Gatekeeper manually).
## Auto-Update
electron-builder generates `latest-mac.yml`, `latest.yml`, `latest-linux.yml` alongside release artifacts. These files enable the built-in auto-updater — users get notified when a new version is available.
## Quick Reference
```bash
# Create and publish a release
git tag v1.1.0
git push origin v1.1.0
# Wait for CI to finish (~10 min), then update notes
# Delete a release (if needed)
gh release delete v1.1.0 --repo 777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui --yes
git tag -d v1.1.0
git push origin :refs/tags/v1.1.0
# Check workflow status
gh run list --repo 777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui --workflow release.yml --limit 3
```
