Release a new version

1. Go to the GitHub Releases in the apollon-vscode repository

2. Click on Draft a new release

   

3. Choose as a tag the new version number to release (e.g. tag version v1.5.0 releases the version 1.5.0)

4. Let the release notes be auto-generated by clicking Generate release notes

   

5. An admin now has to review and accept the new release

6. After the release is approved, GitHub will automatically build and upload the artifact as well as publish the new version to the marketplace.

The latest plugin artifact is now available on GitHub and via the VS Code marketplace.

It might take some time for the latest version to be seen on the marketplace since VS Code still has to review and approve the changes!
