📜 Things to do when publishing the next Babel version

[nicolo-ribaudo]

I didn't know where to write these things that I should remember to do when releasing the next version, but I think that an issue in this repo is ok :laughing:

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.2.3

• [x] Test lerna 3?
• [x] @babel/preset-env didn't get published last time (https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/9200)
• [x] @babel/polyfill needs to be force-updated (https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/8618#issuecomment-448245039)
• [ ] unpkg returns 404 for @babel/standalone 7.2.2 (https://github.com/babel/website/issues/1901#issuecomment-448572603) (seems to be working now?)

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.2.4

• [x] Figure out why @babel/standalone isn't minified (https://unpkg.com/@babel/standalone@7.2.3/babel.min.js)

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.2.5

• [x] @babel/polyfill hasn't been correctly published (https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/9227). This is for the same reason of https://github.com/babel/notes/issues/78#issuecomment-448968023: Lerna 3 doesn't run prepublish/postpublish by default, and when I fixed it I didn't force-publish @babel/polyfill but only standalone.

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.3.0

• [x] (NOTE: Only if @babel/helpers changed) Before publishing, run npx lerna changed to check if nicolo-ribaudo/lerna@ef2f1fcd3e2dba9b1c320d265f66768c5e2e1750 works. If it doesn't, @babel/runtime and @babel/runtime-corejs2 need to be force-published as always. NOTE: It didn't work.
• [x] Instead of running lerna publish, run lerna version + lerna publish from-git to check if it would be possible in the future to run lerna publish from-git automatically from github. NOTE: --force-publish needs to be run with lerna version; --require-scripts with lerna publish.
• [x] Force-publish @babel/types if needed (babel/babel#9239), merge (https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/9245)
• [ ] new package:
  • make sure it has access public for scoped npm packages
  • correct npmignore (extra files)
  • check that new dependencies don't add too much size
  • check perf regressions
  • need a basic dogfood of Babel itself before release
  • possible to check proposal usage via repl url?

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.3.2

• [x] Merge https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/9434 and check if it works. NOTE: It doesn't work, because doesn't fire "push" for tags in public repos.

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.3.3

• [x] Merge https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/9470 (already tested).
• [x] Update typescript preset (https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/9497) (needs --force-publish)
• [x] Run make new-version and then make publish

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.3.4

• [x] Update CHANGELOG.md using @babel-bot

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.4.0

• [x] Finally publish using a GitHub action (merge https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/9588)
  • [x] Add NPM_TOKEN to env vars

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.4.3

• [x] :warning: Be 100% sure that the github action has a valid npm token
• [x] The "Publish to npm" action will not print anything for a long time (~15 mins). It's still working internally.

[nicolo-ribaudo]

:heavy_check_mark: Babel 7.4.4

• [x] Check that @babel/polyfill is es5-compatible.
• [x] Disable "publish to npm" from the GH action; it's too slow.

[nicolo-ribaudo]

✔️ Babel 7.5.0

• [x] Merge the feature-7.5.0/fsharp-pipeline branch to master

[nicolo-ribaudo]

Babel 7.6.0

• [x] Check if the updated release action works

[JLHwung]

Babel 7.11.3

• [x] force-publish @babel/eslint-plugin (https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/11933 updates usage in README)
• [x] skip publishing @babel/runtime-* (@babel/helpers is not changed)

[JLHwung]

Babel 7.11.4

• [x] force-publish @babel/core (#11974 does not touch the contents of @babel/core)
• [x] skip publishing @babel/runtime-* (The only @babel/helpers change comment-only: https://github.com/babel/babel/pull/11953)

[JLHwung]

Babel 7.11.5

• [x] Ignore packages with only change of package.json due to Yarn 2 workspace: protocol, except the following: @babel/cli, @babel/core, @babel/generator, @babel/helper-transform-fixture-runner and @babel/plugin-transform-runtime, @babel/polyfill, @babel/register, @babel/types

[JLHwung]

Babel 7.12.0

Before make new-version

• [x] Enable proper version checks in https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-plugin-proposal-class-static-block/src/index.js

After publish

• [x] Deprecate @babel/plugin-syntax-module-attributes

  npm deprecate @babel/plugin-syntax-module-attributes "@babel/plugin-syntax-module-attributes is renamed as @babel/plugin-syntax-import-assertions, please check syntax updates and install the new syntax plugin"

[JLHwung]

Babel 7.12.1

• [x] Republish every published packages from Babel 7.11.3 to 7.12.0 which is affected by https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/12125. Instead of make new-version, run:
