Publishing Runbook

When preparing to make a release of the SDK follow these steps:

1. Update version numbers of all crates to be published from 0.0.X to 0.0.X + 1 (e.g., from 0.0.2 to 0.0.3) including updating the version requirement for any packages which have workspace dependencies which are also being published.
2. Perform a dry-run publish (use cargo publish --dry-run) in order to verify that publishing will be successful.
3. Create a PR and get it merged into master.
4. Once the PR has landed in master, check out the commit which does the versions bump.
5. Publish to crates.io
6. Create a git tag git tag aptos-sdk-v0.0.X HEAD and push that tag to the aptos-labs/aptos-core repository.

Here is the set of currently published packages that make up the aptos-sdk:

• move-core-types
• aptos-crypto-derive
• aptos-crypto
• aptos-types
• aptos-json-rpc-types
• aptos-client
• aptos-sdk
