Developing new features

Every new feature should be:

• Documented
• Tested
• Implemented
• Pushed to main repository

How to write documentation

When new feature implementation starts you should place it into development version pull. Add Development version section to Release notes and describe every new feature in it. Use #anchors to facilitate navigation.

Every feature should have title and information that it was implemented in current development version.

For example if we've just implemented Usage of the specific cache:

...

#### Usage of the specific cache

*New in DRF-extensions development version*

`@cache_response` can also take...

...

### Release notes

...

#### Development version

* Added ability to [use a specific cache](#usage-of-the-specific-cache) for `@cache_response` decorator

Publishing new releases

Increment version in rest_framework_extensions/__init__.py. For example:

__version__ = '0.2.2'  # from 0.2.1

Move to new version section all release notes in documentation.

Add date for release note section.

Replace in documentation all New in DRF-extensions development version notes to New in DRF-extensions 0.2.2.

Rebuild documentation.

Run tests.

Commit changes with message "Version 0.2.2"

Add new tag version for commit:

$ git tag 0.2.2

Push to master with tags:

$ git push origin master --tags

Don't forget to merge master to gh-pages branch and push to origin:

$ git co gh-pages
$ git merge --no-ff master
$ git push origin gh-pages

Publish to pypi:

$ python setup.py publish
