To release a new version of a plugin, we suggest the following checklist. Checking these locally before pushing to the repository gives you immediate feedback, instead of waiting for the repository to automatically run the checks.
[ ] update the information.version in manifest.json; please use semantic versioning ("major.minor.patch", e.g. "1.4.2" - major can break compatibility, minor can introduce compatible new features, patch is for bug fixes)
[ ] in the project root directory, run bash php-cs-check.sh to check for valid PHP code
normally, this should report no errors
if any found, please fix - these could prevent your plugin from working
[ ] in the plugins/ directory, run php ../pack-plugin.php $YOUR_PLUGIN, where $YOUR_PLUGIN is the directory name of your plugin; this creates the installable package
if you have a composer.json, this will check it and install the dependencies - if this reports as "outdated", please fix by running composer update in your plugin's directory
normally, this should finish without errors or warnings
[ ] in the project root directory, run php validate.php
normally, this should report 0 errors
if it complains that plugins.json is outdated, run php generate-json.php > plugins.json to update it.
