# Release instructions
This section documents the release process. Unless you're a dangerzone developer making a release, you'll probably never need to follow it.
## Pre-release
Before making a release, all of these should be complete:
- [ ] Update `version` in `pyproject.toml`
- [ ] Update `share/version.txt`
- [ ] Update the "Version" field in `install/linux/dangerzone.spec`
- [ ] Update version and download links in `README.md`, and screenshot if necessary
- [ ] CHANGELOG.md should be updated to include a list of all major changes since the last release
- [ ] Copy the entirety of these instructions onto a new issue and call it **QA and Release version \<VERSION\>**
- [ ] Create a PGP-signed git tag for the version, e.g. for dangerzone `v0.1.0`, the is created with:
```
git tag -s v0.1.0
git push origin v0.1.0
```
**Note**: release candidates are suffixed by `-rcX`.
## Large Document Testing
Parallel to the QA process, the release candidate should be put through the large document tests in a dedicated machine to run overnight.
Follow the instructions in `docs/developer/TESTING.md` to run the tests.
These tests will identify any regressions or progression in terms of document coverage.
## QA
To ensure that new releases do not introduce regressions, and support existing
and newer platforms, we have to do the following:
- [ ] In `.circleci/config.yml`, add new platforms and remove obsolete platforms
- [ ] Bump the Python dependencies using `poetry lock`
- [ ] Make sure that the tip of the `main` branch passes the CI tests.
- [ ] Make sure that the Apple account has a valid application password and has
agreed to the latest Apple terms (see [macOS release](#macos-release)
section).
- [ ] Create a test build in Windows and make sure it works:
- [ ] Check if the suggested Python version is still supported.
- [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
- [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
the new image.
- [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
- [ ] Build and run the Dangerzone .exe
- [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
- [ ] Create a test build in macOS (Intel CPU) and make sure it works:
- [ ] Check if the suggested Python version is still supported.
- [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
- [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
the new image.
- [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
- [ ] Create and run an app bundle.
- [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
- [ ] Create a test build in macOS (M1/2 CPU) and make sure it works:
- [ ] Check if the suggested Python version is still supported.
- [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
- [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
the new image.
- [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
- [ ] Create and run an app bundle.
- [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
- [ ] Create a test build in the most recent Ubuntu LTS platform (Ubuntu 22.04
as of writing this) and make sure it works:
- [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
- [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
the new image.
- [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
- [ ] Create a .deb package and install it system-wide.
- [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
- [ ] Create a test build in the most recent Fedora platform (Fedora 38 as of
writing this) and make sure it works:
- [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
- [ ] Build the container image and ensure the development environment uses
the new image.
- [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
- [ ] Create an .rpm package and install it system-wide.
- [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below).
- [ ] Create a test build in the most recent Qubes Fedora template (Fedora 38 as
of writing this) and make sure it works:
- [ ] Create a new development environment with Poetry.
- [ ] Run the Dangerzone tests.
- [ ] Create a Qubes .rpm package and install it system-wide.
- [ ] Ensure that the Dangerzone application appears in the "Applications"
tab.
- [ ] Test some QA scenarios (see [Scenarios](#Scenarios) below) and make sure
they spawn disposable qubes.
### Scenarios
#### 1. Dangerzone correctly identifies that Docker/Podman is not installed
_(Only for MacOS / Windows)_
Temporarily hide the Docker/Podman binaries, e.g., rename the `docker` /
`podman` binaries to something else. Then run Dangerzone. Dangerzone should
prompt the user to install Docker/Podman.
#### 2. Dangerzone correctly identifies that Docker is not running
_(Only for MacOS / Windows)_
Stop the Docker Desktop application. Then run Dangerzone. Dangerzone should
prompt the user to start Docker Desktop.
#### 3. Dangerzone successfully installs the container image
_(Not for Qubes)_
Remove the Dangerzone container image from Docker/Podman. Then run Dangerzone.
Danerzone should install the container image successfully.
#### 4. Dangerzone retains the settings of previous runs
Run Dangerzone and make some changes in the settings (e.g., change the OCR
language, toggle whether to open the document after conversion, etc.). Restart
Dangerzone. Dangerzone should show the settings that the user chose.
#### 5. Dangerzone reports failed conversions
Run Dangerzone and convert the `tests/test_docs/sample_bad_pdf.pdf` document.
Dangerzone should fail gracefully, by reporting that the operation failed, and
showing the last error message.
_(Only for Qubes)_ The only message that the user should see is: "The document
format is not supported", without any untrusted strings.
#### 6. Dangerzone succeeds in converting multiple documents
Run Dangerzone against a list of documents, and tick all options. Ensure that:
* Conversions take place sequentially.
* Attempting to close the window while converting asks the user if they want to
abort the conversions.
* Conversions are completed successfully.
* Conversions show individual progress in real-time (double-check for Qubes).
* _(Only for Linux)_ The resulting files open with the PDF viewer of our choice.
* OCR seems to have detected characters in the PDF files.
* The resulting files have been saved with the proper suffix, in the proper
location.
* The original files have been saved in the `unsafe/` directory.
#### 7. Dangerzone CLI succeeds in converting multiple documents
_(Only for Windows and Linux)_
Run Dangerzone CLI against a list of documents. Ensure that conversions happen
sequentially, are completed successfully, and we see their progress.
#### 8. Dangerzone can open a document for conversion via right-click -> "Open With"
_(Only for Windows, MacOS and Qubes)_
Go to a directory with office documents, right-click on one, and click on "Open
With". We should be able to open the file with Dangerzone, and then convert it.
#### 9. Dangerzone shows helpful errors for setup issues on Qubes
_(Only for Qubes)_
Check what errors does Dangerzone throw in the following scenarios. The errors
should point the user to the Qubes notifications in the top-right corner:
1. The `dz-dvm` template does not exist. We can trigger this scenario by
temporarily renaming this template.
2. The Dangerzone RPC policy does not exist. We can trigger this scenario by
temporarily renaming the `dz.Convert` policy.
3. The `dz-dvm` disposable Qube cannot start due to insufficient resources. We
can trigger this scenario by temporarily increasing the minimum required RAM
of the `dz-dvm` template to more than the available amount.
#### 10. Updating Dangerzone handles external state correctly.
_(Applies to Linux/Windows/MacOS. For MacOS/Windows, it requires an installer
for the new version)_
Install the previous version of Dangerzone system-wide:
* For MacOS/Windows, use the version from the website.
* For Linux, uninstall Dangerzone from your test environment, and install the
previous version using our [installation instructions](INSTALL.md). Also,
keep in mind the following:
- In order to run commands as root, execute into the container as root with
`podman exec -it -u root <container ID> bash`.
- If you encounter a GPG error, run the `dirmngr` command to create the
necessary directories.
Open the Dangerzone application and enable some non-default settings. Close the
Dangerzone application and get the container image for that version. For
example:
```
$ podman images dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:latest
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone latest <image ID> <date> <size>
```
_(use `docker` on Windows/MacOS)_
Install the new version of Dangerzone system-wide. For Linux, copy the package
back into the container. Open the Dangerzone application and make sure that the
previously enabled settings still show up. Also, ensure that Dangerzone reports
that the new image has been installed, and verify that it's different from the
old one by doing:
```
$ podman images dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone:latest
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
dangerzone.rocks/dangerzone latest <different ID> <newer date> <different size>
```
## Release
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Because we don't have [reproducible builds](https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone/issues/188)
> yet, building the Dangerzone container image in various platforms would lead
> to different container image IDs / hashes, due to different timestamps. To
> avoid this issue, we should build the final container image for x86_64
> architectures on **one** platform, and then copy it to the rest of the
> platforms, before creating our .deb / .rpm / .msi / app bundles.
### macOS Release
#### Initial Setup
- Build machine must have:
- Apple-trusted `Developer ID Application: Freedom of the Press Foundation (94ZZGGGJ3W)` code-signing certificates installed
- Apple account must have:
- A valid application password for `notarytool` in the Keychain. You can verify
this by running: `xcrun notarytool history --apple-id "<email>" --keychain-profile "dz-notarytool-release-key"`. If you don't find it, you can add it to the Keychain by running
`xcrun notarytool store-credentials dz-notarytool-release-key --apple-id <email> --team-id <team ID>`
with the respective `email` and `team ID` (the latter can be obtained [here](https://developer.apple.com/help/account/manage-your-team/locate-your-team-id))
- Agreed to any new terms and conditions. You can find those if you visit
https://developer.apple.com and login with the proper Apple ID.
#### Releasing and Signing
- [ ] Verify and checkout the git tag for this release
- [ ] Run `poetry install`
- [ ] Run `poetry run ./install/macos/build-app.py`; this will make `dist/Dangerzone.app`
- [ ] Run `poetry run ./install/macos/build-app.py --only-codesign`; this will make `dist/Dangerzone.dmg`
* You need to run this command as the account that has access to the code signing certificate
* You must run this command from the MacOS UI, from a terminal application.
- [ ] Notarize it: `xcrun notarytool submit --apple-id "<email>" --keychain-profile "dz-notarytool-release-key" dist/Dangerzone.dmg`
* In the end you'll get a `REQUEST_UUID`, which identifies the submission. Keep it to check on its status.
* You need to change the `<email>` in the above command with the email
associated with the Apple Developer ID.
* This command assumes that you have created, and stored in the Keychain, an
application password associated with your Apple Developer ID, which will be
used specifically for `notarytool`.
- [ ] Wait for it to get approved, check status with: `xcrun notarytool info <REQUEST_UUID> --apple-id "<email>" --keychain-profile "dz-notarytool-release-key"`
* If it gets rejected, you should be able to see why with the same command
(or use the `log` option for a more verbose JSON output)
* You will also receive an update in your email.
- [ ] After it's approved, staple the ticket: `xcrun stapler staple dist/Dangerzone.dmg`
This process ends up with the final file:
```
dist/Dangerzone.dmg
```
Rename `Dangerzone.dmg` to `Dangerzone-$VERSION.dmg`.
### Windows Release
The Windows release is performed in a Windows 11 virtual machine as opposed to a physical one.
#### Initial Setup
- Download a VirtualBox VM image for Windows from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/ and import it into VirtualBox. Also install the Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
- Install updates
- Install git for Windows from https://git-scm.com/download/win, and clone the dangerzone repo
- Follow the Windows build instructions in `BUILD.md`, except:
- Don't install Docker Desktop (it won't work without nested virtualization)
- Install the Windows SDK from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/ and add `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce\SignTool` to the path (you'll need it for `signtool.exe`)
- You'll also need the Windows codesigning certificate installed on the VM
#### Releasing and Signing
- [ ] Verify and checkout the git tag for this release
- [ ] Run `poetry install`
- [ ] Copy the container image into the VM
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Instead of running `python .\install\windows\build-image.py` in the VM, run the build image script on the host (making sure to build for `linux/amd64`). Copy `share/container.tar.gz` and `share/image-id.txt` from the host into the `share` folder in the VM
- [ ] Run `poetry run .\install\windows\build-app.bat`
- [ ] When you're done you will have `dist\Dangerzone.msi`
Rename `Dangerzone.msi` to `Dangerzone-$VERSION.msi`.
### Linux release
#### Debian/Ubuntu
Because the Debian packages do not contain compiled Python code for a specific
Python version, we can create a single Debian package and use it for all of our
Debian-based distros.
Create a Debian Bookworm development environment. You can [follow the
instructions in our build section](https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone/blob/main/BUILD.md#debianubuntu),
or create your own locally with:
```sh
./dev_scripts/env.py --distro debian --version bookworm build-dev
./dev_scripts/env.py --distro debian --version bookworm run --dev bash
cd dangerzone
```
Build the latest container:
```sh
./install/linux/build-image.sh
```
Create a .deb:
```sh
./install/linux/build-deb.py
```
Publish the .deb under `./deb_dist` to the
[`freedomofpress/apt-tools-prod`](https://github.com/freedomofpress/apt-tools-prod)
repo, by sending a PR. Follow the instructions in that repo on how to do so.
#### Fedora
> **NOTE**: This procedure will have to be done for every supported Fedora version.
>
> In this section, we'll use Fedora 38 as an example.
Create a Fedora development environment. You can [follow the
instructions in our build section](https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone/blob/main/BUILD.md#fedora),
or create your own locally with:
```sh
./dev_scripts/env.py --distro fedora --version 38 build-dev
./dev_scripts/env.py --distro fedora --version 38 run --dev bash
cd dangerzone
```
Build the latest container:
```sh
./install/linux/build-image.sh
```
Create a .rpm:
```sh
./install/linux/build-rpm.py
```
Publish the .rpm under `./dist` to the
[`freedomofpress/yum-tools-prod`](https://github.com/freedomofpress/yum-tools-prod) repo, by sending a PR. Follow the instructions in that repo on how to do so.
#### Qubes
Create a .rpm for Qubes:
```sh
./install/linux/build-rpm.py --qubes
```
and similarly publish it to the [`freedomofpress/yum-tools-prod`](https://github.com/freedomofpress/yum-tools-prod)
repo.
## Publishing the Release
To publish the release:
- [ ] Create a new release on GitHub, put the changelog in the description of the release, and upload the macOS and Windows installers
- [ ] Upload the `container.tar.gz` i686 image that was created in the previous step
**Important:** Make sure that it's the same container image as the ones that
are shipped in other platforms (see our [Pre-release](#Pre-release) section)
- [ ] Update the [Installing Dangerzone](INSTALL.md) page
- [ ] Update the [Dangerzone website](https://github.com/freedomofpress/dangerzone.rocks) to link to the new installers
- [ ] Update the brew cask release of Dangerzone with a [PR like this one](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/pull/116319)
- [ ] Toot release announcement on our mastodon account @dangerzone@fosstodon.org
