# Releasing
Releasing a new version of `node-osrm` is mostly automated using Travis CI.
The version of `node-osrm` is locked to the same version as `osrm-backend`. Every `node-osrm` should have a `osrm-backend` release of the same version. Of course, only release a `node-osrm` after the release has been tagged in `osrm-backend`.
These steps all happen on `master`. After the release is out, create a branch using the MAJOR.MINOR version of the release to document code changes made for that version.
### Steps to release
1. Update the `osrm_release` field in `package.json` to the corresonding git tag in `osrm-backend.`
Confirm the desired OSRM branch and commit to `master`.
1. Bump node-osrm version
Update the `CHANGELOG.md` and the `package.json` version if needed.
1. Check that Travis CI [builds are passing](https://travis-ci.org/Project-OSRM/node-osrm) for the latest commit on `master`.
1. Publishing binaries
If travis builds are passing then it's time to publish binaries by committing with a message containing `[publish binary]`. Use an empty commit for this.
```
git commit --allow-empty -m "[publish binary] vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH"
```
1. Test
Locally you can now test binaries. Cleanup, re-install, and run the tests like:
```
make clean
npm install # will pull remote binaries
npm ls # confirm deps are correct
make test
```
1. Tag
Once binaries are published for Linux and OS X then its time to tag a new release and add the changelog to the tag:
```
git tag vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH -a
git push --tags
```
1. Publish node-osrm. **we only do this for stable releases**
First ensure your local `node-pre-gyp` is up to date:
```
npm ls
```
This is important because it is bundled during packaging.
If you see any errors then do:
```
rm -rf node_modules/node-pre-gyp
npm install node-pre-gyp
```
Now we're ready to publish `node-osrm` to <https://www.npmjs.org/package/osrm>:
```
npm publish
```
Dependent apps can now pull from the npm registry like:
```
"dependencies": {
"osrm": "^MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH"
}
```
Or can still pull from the github tag like:
```
"dependencies": {
"osrm": "https://github.com/Project-OSRM/node-osrm/archive/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.tar.gz"
}
```
