OnionShare Release Process
Unless you're a core OnionShare developer making a release, you'll probably never need to follow it.
Preparing the release
Update the version in these places
cli/pyproject.toml
cli/onionshare_cli/resources/version.txt
desktop/pyproject.toml
desktop/setup.py
desktop/org.onionshare.OnionShare.appdata.xml
docs/source/conf.py
(version
at the top, and theversions
list too)snap/snapcraft.yaml
You also must edit these files
desktop/org.onionshare.OnionShare.appdata.xml
should have the correct release date, and links to correct screenshotsCHANGELOG.md
should be updated to include a list of all major changes since the last release
If you update flask-socketio
, ensure that you also update the socket.io.min.js file to a version that is supported by the updated version of flask-socketio
.
Update the documentation
- Update all of the documentation in
docs
to cover new features, including taking new screenshots if necessary
Finalize localization
- Merge all the translations from weblate
- In
docs
runpoetry run ./check-weblate.py [API_KEY]
to see which translations are >90% in the app and docs - Edit
cli/onionshare_cli/settings.py
, make sureself.available_locales
lists only locales that are >90% translated - From the
desktop
folder in the virtual env, run./scripts/countries-update-list.py
to make sure the localized country list for censorship circumvention is available in all available languages - Edit
docs/source/conf.py
, make surelanguages
lists only languages that are >90% translated - Edit
docs/build.sh
and make sureLOCALES=
lists the same languages as above, indocs/source/conf.py
- Make sure the latest documentation is built and committed:
cd docs poetry install poetry run ./build.sh
Make sure Snapcraft packaging works
In snap/snapcraft.yaml
:
- The
tor
,libevent
,obfs4
,snowflake-client
, andmeek-client
parts should be updated if necessary - In the
onionshare
part, in theoverride-pull
section, all of the dependencies in therequirements.txt
file should match the dependencies listed incli/pyproject.toml
anddesktop/pyproject.toml
, with the exception of PySide2 - With every commit to the
main
branch, Snapcraft's CI should trigger builds. Make sure the builds all succeeded at https://snapcraft.io/onionshare/builds (you must be logged in), and test them. You can install them with:snap install onionshare --edge
Make sure the Flatpak packaging works
In flatpak/org.onionshare.OnionShare.yaml
:
- Update
tor
,libevent
,obfs4
,meek-client
, andsnowflake-client
dependencies, if necessary - Built the latest python dependencies using this tool (see below)
- Test the Flatpak package, ensure it works
pip3 install toml requirements-parser
# clone flatpak-build-tools
git clone https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools.git
# get onionshare-cli dependencies
cd poetry
./flatpak-poetry-generator.py ../../onionshare/cli/poetry.lock
cd ..
# get onionshare dependencies
cd pip
./flatpak-pip-generator $(python3 -c 'import toml; print("\n".join(toml.loads(open("../../onionshare/desktop/pyproject.toml").read())["tool"]["poetry"]["dependencies"]))' |grep -vi onionshare_cli |grep -vi python | grep -vi pyside2 | grep -vi cx_freeze |tr "\n" " ")
cd ..
# convert to yaml
./flatpak-json2yaml.py -o onionshare-cli.yml poetry/generated-poetry-sources.json
./flatpak-json2yaml.py -o onionshare.yml pip/python3-qrcode.json
Now, merge onionshare-cli.yml
and onionshare.yml
into the Flatpak manifest.
Build and test the Flatpak package before publishing:
flatpak-builder build --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub --install --user org.onionshare.OnionShare.yaml
flatpak run org.onionshare.OnionShare
Update to the latest version of Tor
- Edit
desktop/scripts/get-tor.py
to use the latest version of Tor Browser, and the latest sha256 checksums. - Update the version of
meek
,obfs4proxy
, andsnowflake
in thedesktop/scripts/build-pt-*
scripts, both the bash and PowerShell scripts.
Create a signed git tag
- There must be a PGP-signed git tag for the version, e.g. for OnionShare 2.1, the tag must be
v2.1
The first step for the Linux, macOS, and Windows releases is the same.
Verify the release git tag:
git fetch
git tag -v v$VERSION
If the tag verifies successfully, check it out:
git checkout v$VERSION
Making the release
Linux Snapcraft release
From https://snapcraft.io/onionshare/releases (you must be logged in), promote the release from latest/edge to latest/beta, then latest/candidate, then latest/stable.
Linux Flatpak release
- Create a new branch in https://github.com/flathub/org.onionshare.OnionShare for the version
- Overwrite the manifest in the flathub repo with the updated version in flatpak/org.onionshare.OnionShare.yaml
- Edit it so that the sources for
onionshare
andonionshare-cli
are the GitHub repo, with the correct git tag, rather than the local filesystem - Make a PR in the flathub repo, and merge it to make a release
Windows release
Set up the packaging environment:
- Install the Windows SDK from here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/ and add
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce\SignTool
to the path (you'll need it forsigntool.exe
) - Go to https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework and download and install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Runtime. I downloaded
dotnetfx35.exe
. - Go to https://wixtoolset.org/releases/ and download and install WiX toolset. I downloaded
wix311.exe
. AddC:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.11\bin
to the path.
Github Actions will build the binaries. Find the Github Actions build
workflow, switch to the summary tab, and download:
build-win32
build-win64
Extract these files, change to the desktop
folder, and run:
poetry run python .\scripts\build-windows.py codesign [onionshare_win32_path] [onionshare_win64_path]
poetry run python .\scripts\build-windows.py package [onionshare_win32_path] [onionshare_win64_path]
This will create:
desktop/dist/OnionShare-win32-$VERSION.msi
desktop/dist/OnionShare-win64-$VERSION.msi
macOS release
Set up the packaging environment:
- Install create-dmg:
brew install create-dmg
Github Actions will build the binaries. Find the Github Actions build
workflow, switch to the summary tab, and download:
build-mac
Extract these files, change to the desktop
folder, and run:
poetry run python ./scripts/build-macos.py codesign [app_path]
poetry run python ./scripts/build-macos.py package [app_path]
The will create dist/OnionShare-$VERSION.dmg
.
Now, notarize the release.
export APPLE_PASSWORD="changeme" # app-specific Apple ID password
export VERSION=$(cat ../cli/onionshare_cli/resources/version.txt)
# Notarize it
xcrun altool --notarize-app --primary-bundle-id "com.micahflee.onionshare" -u "micah@micahflee.com" -p "$APPLE_PASSWORD" --file dist/OnionShare-$VERSION.dmg
# Wait for it to get approved, check status with
xcrun altool --notarization-history 0 -u "micah@micahflee.com" -p "$APPLE_PASSWORD"
# After it's approved, staple the ticket
xcrun stapler staple dist/OnionShare-$VERSION.dmg
This will create desktop/dist/OnionShare-$VERSION.dmg
, signed and notarized.
Source package
To make a source package, run ./build-source.sh $TAG
, where $TAG
is the name of the signed git tag, e.g. v2.1
.
This will create dist/onionshare-$VERSION.tar.gz
.
Publishing the release
PGP signatures
After following all of the previous steps, gather these files:
onionshare_${VERSION}_amd64.snap
OnionShare.flatpak
(rename toOnionShare-$VERSION.flatpak
)OnionShare-win32-$VERSION.msi
OnionShare-win64-$VERSION.msi
OnionShare-$VERSION.dmg
onionshare-$VERSION.tar.gz
Create a PGP signature for each of these files, e.g:
gpg -a --detach-sign OnionShare-$VERSION.tar.gz
gpg -a --detach-sign [... and so on]
Create a release on GitHub:
- Match it to the version tag, put the changelog in description of the release
- Upload all 8 files (binary and source packages and their
.asc
signatures)
Update onionshare-cli on PyPi
cd cli
poetry install
poetry publish --build
