## Cutting a new release
<details>
_Note: these instructions are for maintainers_
1. Update the version number in [package.json](https://github.com/advanced-security/maven-dependency-submission-action/blob/main/package.json) and run `npm i` to update the lockfile.
1. Go to [Draft a new
release](https://github.com/advanced-security/maven-dependency-submission-action/releases/new)
in the Releases page.
1. Make sure that the `Publish this Action to the GitHub Marketplace`
checkbox is enabled

3. Click "Choose a tag" and then "Create new tag", where the tag name
will be your version prefixed by a `v` (e.g. `v4.1.2`).
4. Use a version number for the release title (e.g. "4.1.2").

5. Add your release notes. If this is a major version make sure to
include a small description of the biggest changes in the new version.
6. Click "Publish Release".
You now have a tag and release using the semver version you used
above. The last remaining thing to do is to move the dynamic version
identifier to match the current SHA. This allows users to adopt a
major version number (e.g. `v1`) in their workflows while
automatically getting all the
minor/patch updates.
To do this just checkout `main`, force-create a new annotated tag, and push it:
```
git tag -fa v4 -m "Updating v4 to 4.1.2"
git push origin v4 --force
```
