Steps

build and test-deploy on all platforms
git tag release
release-deploy

Preparation – version update

version.h
installer/knossos/DEBIAN/control
wix/bundle.wxs
wix/knossos.wxs
maybe update Splash

Source release – `git tag` and build

KREVISION inside buildinfo.h in the build directory should automatically get updated

Distribution release

AUR package

updpkgsums → makepkg --source → upload to AUR
(you cannot test the final AUR package beforehand because it is build upon the git tag)

Debian package

create-deb.sh will copy the knossos executable from ../../knossos-release/ (change to your liking) all required dependencies (except python) and plugins to knossos/opt/knossos. After that it builds a Debian package
don’t rename it, when installing the linter will hunt you

Windows static build

install qt5-static and get a static build of CURL
build with CMake flag BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=FALSE (there’re currently hard coded paths inside CustomLibraryLocations.cmake)

Windows Setup

put the static knossos64.exe and the corresponding python installer (make sure the filenames are correct in the bundle.wxs and in knossos.wxs file) in the installer/wix dir
run the script create-installer.sh
Do NOT change the UpgradeCode. NEVER. Neither in knossos.wxs nor in bundle.wxs. Otherwise the old version wont be uninstalled on an upgrade.
