Release Process

This document describes how to release the Sprocket IntelliJ plugin.

Creating a Release

Update the release version in gradle.properties:
```
pluginVersion = 0.1.0
```
Find the latest IntelliJ Platform release or EAP supported by the plugin. Check the IntelliJ Platform build number ranges and the current IntelliJ IDEA release notes to map the latest IDE version to its build number prefix. For example, IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2 uses the 262 build prefix.
Verify the supported IntelliJ Platform build range in gradle.properties. Set pluginUntilBuild to the latest supported build prefix:
```
pluginUntilBuild = <build-prefix>.*
```
Update CHANGELOG.md:
- Rename [Unreleased] to [0.1.0] - YYYY-MM-DD
- Add a new empty [Unreleased] section above it
- Update the links at the bottom of the file

Commit version changes:

git add gradle.properties CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "release: v0.1.0"

Create and push a tag:

git tag v0.1.0
git push origin main
git push origin v0.1.0

Create a GitHub release:
- Go to Releases → Create a new release
- Select the tag
- Copy the changelog section as release notes
- Publish the release

The GitHub Action will automatically build the plugin and attach the distribution zip to the release.
