RELEASE

How to release:

Add this to ~/.m2/settings.xml

Needed:
<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>ossrh</id>
      <username>Spotify</username>
      <password>your-jira-pwd</password>
    </server>
  </servers>
</settings>


Optional:
  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>ossrh</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
      </activation>
      <properties>
        <gpg.executable>gpg</gpg.executable>
        <gpg.passphrase>PASSPHRASE</gpg.passphrase>
      </properties>
    </profile>
  </profiles>

Ensure that jdk8 is the locally available jdk. Check with:

$ java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_332"

Something like sdkman can be used to simplify switching:
$ sdk use java <the specific version>

Then prepare the release version. Keep the snapshot suffix - the release
process will remove it.
If the change breaks compatibility, bump the major version, rename all packages,
rename artifact id.
If the change introduces a new feature, bump the minor version.
If the change fixes a bug, the version should already be correct.

$ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=$NEW_VERSION
$ mvn release:clean release:prepare release:perform
