Release 2020.08

Before the release

Documentation

• New features are described in doc/vidjil-algo.md
• Breaking changes (and needed configuration changes) are understood

On the feature-a/release branch, the last commit is the release commit updating the three following files:

• CHANGELOG
• doc/vidjil-algo.md with the proper release tag
• algo/release with the proper release tag

Pipelines

https://gitlab.inria.fr/vidjil/vidjil/-/pipelines/163339 (if tests passed on different pipelines, indicate below the relevant pipelines)

Usual tests should pass, but also:

• prepare_release
• valgrind_unit
• valgrind_functional
• multiple_tests

Benchmarks

• almost no change...
• ... or significant changes are understood

The release, publish, tag and push

• merge this MR to master and tag: git tag release-20XX-XX
• push: git push origin master release-20XX-XX
• mirror to GH: git push github master release-20XX.XX
• click publish_release (there may be changes to CD...)

After these steps, we merge back the release in dev:

• merge this MR to dev !789 (merged)
