Quick-reference for cutting a release. Full reference: docs/release-process.md.
npm run release
The script (bin/release.js) handles everything: changelog roll-up, version bump in atmosphere.php / readme.txt / package.json, readme.txt changelog mirror, unreleased marker replacement across *.php, optional Upgrade Notice prompt, then commits / pushes / opens a Release X.Y.Z PR.
Prerequisites: clean working tree, on trunk (or it'll switch you), gh CLI authenticated, at least one entry in .github/changelog/.
After the PR merges: draft the GitHub Release against trunk with the new tag.
The script doesn't handle these — patches are cherry-picked manually onto the previous release branch:
git fetch origin release/X.Y.0
git checkout release/X.Y.0
git cherry-pick -m 1 <merge-commit-hash>
composer changelog:write
# Update readme.txt changelog block, bump versions in atmosphere.php / readme.txt / package.json,
# replace any remaining `unreleased` markers.
git push origin release/X.Y.0
# Open PR against release/X.Y.0; draft GitHub Release with the new tag targeting that branch.
Full step-by-step: docs/release-process.md → Patch Releases.
composer changelog:add # Add one entry to .github/changelog/.
composer changelog:write # Roll up entries into CHANGELOG.md (script does this for you).
Required: end the message with punctuation, write for end users (no class names, no AI/assistant references).

✅ Add option to disable standard.site document records.
❌ Refactor Publisher class to handle edge case in applyWrites batch.
❌ Fix TID collision in transformer output.
When adding a new public hook, deprecation, or _doing_it_wrong call, use the literal unreleased. The release script rewrites it:
/**
* @since unreleased
*/
\_deprecated_function( __FUNCTION__, 'unreleased', 'new_function' );
\apply_filters_deprecated( 'atmosphere_old_filter', array( $value ), 'unreleased', 'atmosphere_new_filter' );
\_doing_it_wrong( __METHOD__, \__( 'Use new_method().', 'atmosphere' ), 'unreleased' );
| Bump | When |
|---|---|
| Major (X.0.0) | Breaking public-hook signature changes, removed features, schema requires migration. |
| Minor (0.X.0) | New features, new public hooks, backward-compatible behaviour changes. |
| Patch (0.0.X) | Bug fixes only — no public hook changes. |
If any pending entry is marked Significance: major, the changelogger bumps to a new major version. Otherwise minor if any is minor, else patch.
