• Merge the PR

🚀 v25.0.1

Start with the oldest version here, so the appstore and github releases show the newest version as "Last release"

• Backport the changelog
  • [stable35] chore(release): Changelog for v25.0.1 #19536
  • Remove changelog entries in CHANGELOG.md of higher versions
  • Bump the version in appinfo/info.xml
  • Bump the version in package.json. The following command will return a new version name, make sure it matches what you expect:

    # Make sure the printed version matches the info.xml version
    npm version --no-git-tag-version $(xmllint --xpath '/info/version/text()' appinfo/info.xml)

• Merge the backport
• Make sure you pull the latest stable branch:

  git checkout stableX.Y
  git pull origin stableX.Y

• Clean the dev instance and update all dependencies with the lock file versions and build the production javascript:

  make production-setup
  # On 24 and older versions run:
  # make dev-setup build-js-production

• Do a quick smoke test by starting a call with:
  • Chrome
  • Edge
  • Firefox
  • Safari
  • Desktop client (Talk 16+)
  • Android app
  • iOS app
• Create tag (note that the leading v in vX.Y.Z will be automatically added to the tag)

  make create-tag version=$(xmllint --xpath '/info/version/text()' appinfo/info.xml)

• Push the git tag to https://github.com/nextcloud-releases/spreed

  git push releases v$(xmllint --xpath '/info/version/text()' appinfo/info.xml)

  Make sure you have access rights to the remote repository, and it is set up on your machine:

  git remote add releases git@github.com:nextcloud-releases/spreed.git

• Prepare a (pre-)release in https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/releases/new?tag=vX.Y.Z
  • Make sure that chosen tag is vX.Y.Z, target is stableX.Y, and previous tag is vX.Y.[Z-1]
  • Add the respective CHANGELOG.md section from merged PR
  • Use the Generate release notes button and wrap the output result into
