The full Meilisearch release process is described in [this guide](https://github.com/meilisearch/engine-team/blob/main/resources/meilisearch-release.md). Please follow it carefully before doing any release.
### How to publish a prototype
Depending on the developed feature, you might need to provide a prototyped version of Meilisearch to make it easier to test by the users.
The prototype name must follow this convention: `prototype-X-Y` where
- `X` is the feature name formatted in `kebab-case`
- `Y` is the version of the prototype, starting from `0`.
Example: `prototype-auto-resize-0`.
Steps to create a prototype:
1. In your terminal, go to the last commit of your branch (the one you want to provide as a prototype).
2. Create a tag following the convention: `git tag prototype-X-Y`
3. Push the tag: `git push origin prototype-X-Y`
4. Check the [Docker CI](https://github.com/meilisearch/meilisearch/actions/workflows/publish-docker-images.yml) is now running.
🐳 Once the CI has finished to run (~1h30), a Docker image named `prototype-X-Y` will be available on [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/getmeili/meilisearch/general). People can use it with the following command: `docker run -p 7700:7700 -v $(pwd)/meili_data:/meili_data getmeili/meilisearch:prototype-X-Y`. <br>
More information about [how to run Meilisearch with Docker](https://docs.meilisearch.com/learn/cookbooks/docker.html#download-meilisearch-with-docker).
⚙️ However, no binaries will be created. If the users do not use Docker, they can go to the `prototype-X-Y` tag in the Meilisearch repository and compile from the source code.
⚠️ When sharing a prototype with users, prevent them from using it in production. Prototypes are only for test purposes.
### Release assets
For each release, the following assets are created:
