Storybook Release Proposal

A Storybook release process based on Semver. In short:

1. merge bugfix PRs directly into master automatically release (~daily)
2. merge feature and breaking PRs into a release branch (e.g. release/3.2) and release features in groups along with a marketing push after a preview period (~monthly)

Motivation

During the Storybook 3.x transition we've undergone a series of growing pains as we've opened up the development process. We've had questions about:

Versioned Documentation for Storybook

Goals:

• Docs for the latest stable release of Storybook, statically hosted at https://storybook.js.org
• Docs for a preview release, clearly labeled as preview with disclaimers and pointers to the main docs
• Docs for previous minor releases of Storybook, with disclaimers and pointers to the main docs

Proposal

Patterned off of Meteor docs site (source)

Storybook Release Proposal v2

A Storybook release proposal that combines Semver with marketing considerations. In short:

1. multiple major versions per year
2. blog post for each major version

Motivation

Earlier this year I proposed a release strategy that attempted to reduce major versions. We've been running with that strategy for six months and have released 3.0, 3.2, and 3.3 this way, but continue to get pushback on adhering to Semver. This proposal attempts to address those concerns and is inspired by Jest's versioning.

Wwhat I did to manually test some breaking changes to @storybook/cli by publishing a test-tagged package to NPM.

Publish package:

yarn bootstrap --reset --core
cd lib/cli
# edit package.json version: 4.0.0-alpha.24 => 4.0.0-test.25
npm publish --tag test --access public

Storybook Release Proposal v4

Fourth iteration of the Storybook release process (v1, v2, v3), updated to reflect learnings from the 4.0 release.

What we're doing now

• We respect semver for all releases to the best of our ability
• release/x.y (e.g. release/3.4) branch is released as a patch every week (e.g. 3.4.X)
• master is released on the alpha tag every week (e.g. 4.0.0-alpha.X)
