ActivityPub Release Process

Quick reference for managing releases and changelogs for the WordPress ActivityPub plugin.

Quick Reference

Release Commands

npm run release              # Create major/minor release PR.

Version File Locations

When updating versions manually, change these files (these are the files bin/release.js touches):

• activitypub.php - Plugin header (Version: X.Y.Z) and the ACTIVITYPUB_PLUGIN_VERSION constant. Both must change.
• readme.txt - WordPress.org readme (Stable tag: X.Y.Z).
• includes/class-migration.php - Version references in the DB-migration version_compare() checks.
• CHANGELOG.md - Changelog file (auto-updated by release script).

Note: package.json has no version field and is not part of the release bump.
