# Releasing Firmware
GitHub Actions is set up to automatically build and draft firmware releases.
## Required GitHub Variable
Set the repository Actions variable `OFFICIAL_MESHCORE_VERSION` to the current upstream MeshCore release version.
Example:
- `OFFICIAL_MESHCORE_VERSION=v1.2.3`
This value becomes the base `FIRMWARE_VERSION` used by the release workflows.
## EastMesh Release Tags
Push one or more of the following tag formats to trigger the matching firmware release workflow:
- `companion-wifi-v1.2.3`
- `repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-v1.0.1`
Use the upstream MeshCore version in `companion-wifi-v1.2.3`.
Use the EastMesh release version in `repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-v1.0.1`.
Each tag triggers a separate workflow:
- `companion-wifi-v*` builds companion WiFi firmware
- `repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-*` builds repeater MQTT firmware
You can push one, or more tags on the same commit, and they will all build separately.
## Resulting Firmware Version
During the GitHub Actions build:
- `companion-wifi` uses the version in the tag as `FIRMWARE_VERSION`
- `repeater-mqtt` uses `OFFICIAL_MESHCORE_VERSION` as `FIRMWARE_VERSION`
- `repeater-mqtt` uses the EastMesh version from the tag as `EASTMESH_VERSION`
The resulting version string depends on the workflow:
- `companion-wifi`: `v1.2.3-<commit>`
- `repeater-mqtt`: `v1.2.3-eastmesh-v1.0.1-<commit>`
Example:
- tag: `repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-v1.0.1`
- repo variable: `OFFICIAL_MESHCORE_VERSION=v1.2.3`
- resulting build version: `v1.2.3-eastmesh-v1.0.1-abcdef`
## Typical Release Flow
1. Update the `OFFICIAL_MESHCORE_VERSION` GitHub Actions variable if upstream has changed.
2. Update `release-notes.yml` on `develop` for any release entries you want included in the tagged commit.
3. Open and merge the release PR from `develop` to `main`.
4. Create the release tags you want on the target commit on `main`.
5. Push the tags.
6. Wait for the workflows to finish building.
7. Review the draft GitHub Releases.
8. Publish the release.
If `release-notes.yml` should reflect the tagged firmware release in-repo, make that change before the PR to `main` so the tagged commit already contains the matching release notes.
Example:
```bash
git tag companion-wifi-v1.2.3
git tag repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-v1.0.1
git push origin companion-wifi-v1.2.3 repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-v1.0.1
```
## Supported Tags
- `companion-wifi-v1.2.3`
- `repeater-mqtt-eastmesh-v1.0.1`
