* Release from GitHub Actions
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis pull request updates several configuration and workflow files. The Maven settings now use environment variables for server authentication, and the GitHub server entry has been modified to use a private key. Multiple GitHub Actions workflows have been updated by replacing authentication tokens and removing some tag-triggered steps. A new release workflow has been added to automate the release process. Additionally, the project’s metadata in the POM has been expanded with new elements and plugin updates, and the .gitignore has been modified to ignore all .DS_Store files. Instructions in the README have been enhanced with release process details. Changes

19-25: Checkout Action VersioningThe checkout step references a specific commit SHA for
actions/checkout. For better clarity and maintainability, consider switching to an official version tag (e.g.v4) unless the SHA is explicitly required.- uses: actions/checkout@11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683 #v4.2.2 + uses: actions/checkout@v4

.gitignore (1)
20-20: DS_Store Ignore Pattern Update
The ignore rule for DS_Store files has been updated from/.DS_Storeto*.DS_Store. This change ensures that all DS_Store files are excluded irrespective of their location within the project, thereby maintaining a cleaner repository structure..github/workflows/website.yml (2)
22-22: Token Update in Checkout Step
The token in the Checkout step is now set to${{ secrets.PERSONAL_GITHUB_TOKEN }}, which standardises authentication and improves security consistency across workflows.
50-50: Token Update in Checkout Website Step
The Checkout website step has also been updated to use${{ secrets.PERSONAL_GITHUB_TOKEN }}. This adjustment aligns the authentication method with the rest of the workflow and reinforces secure practices..github/workflows/build.yml (1)
27-29: Authentication Token Standardisation
The Checkout step now utilises${{ secrets.PERSONAL_GITHUB_TOKEN }}in place of the previous token. This change ensures consistency across workflows and enhances overall security.README.md (1)
124-134: Enhanced Release Process Instructions
The README has been updated with detailed release instructions, including the command to push release tags and a new "Release from local" section. This provides clearer guidance for both automated and local release processes. Please ensure that these instructions are kept in line with the current tooling and deployment workflows..github/workflows/tzdbupdate.yml (2)
24-25: Token Update in TZDB Checkout
In the Checkout step, the token has been updated to${{ secrets.PERSONAL_GITHUB_TOKEN }}, ensuring a consistent authentication approach with the other workflow files.
96-98: Token Update in Create Pull Request Step
The Create Pull Request step now uses${{ secrets.PERSONAL_GITHUB_TOKEN }}to match the updated security practices. This change helps maintain a uniform authentication method across all parts of the workflow..github/maven-settings.xml (2)
6-10: Use Environment Variables for Sonatype Staging CredentialsThe new server entry correctly utilises environment variables for safeguarding the OSSRH credentials. Please ensure that the CI/CD environment is configured with
OSSRH_USERNAMEandOSSRH_TOKENas expected.
11-14: Update GitHub Server AuthenticationReplacing the
<username>element with<privateKey>to obtain the GitHub token from an environment variable enhances security. Confirm that your deployment infrastructure supports authentication via private key in this context..github/workflows/release.yml (3)
1-8: Configure Workflow Triggers for Release AutomationThe workflow is appropriately set to trigger on tag pushes matching
release*as well as via manualworkflow_dispatch. This dual trigger mechanism offers both automated and manual control of the release process.
47-56: Maven Release Step ConfigurationThe Maven release step sets up essential environment variables (for OSSRH and GPG signing) and executes the command with the
-Doss.repoflag. Verify that this flag activates the appropriate Maven profile for releasing artifacts.
62-66: Robust Tag Cleanup in Release WorkflowThe final step that conditionally deletes the release tag from both the local and remote repositories ensures that the repository remains clean after release operations. This defensive measure is well implemented.
pom.xml (6)
16-27: Enhance Project MetadataAdding
<inceptionYear>,<licenses>, and<organization>elements significantly enriches the project’s metadata. These enhancements improve transparency and conform to Maven best practices in documenting project information.
32-37: Add SCM ConfigurationThe introduction of the
<scm>section with detailed repository connection information aids users and contributors in locating the source code and understanding how the project is version-controlled.
612-629: Configure Maven Release Plugin for GitHub ReleasesThe new release plugin configuration is well-integrated. It leverages options such as
-Doss.repo,autoVersionSubmodules, and a customtagNameFormatto align tagging with the project’s version. Additionally, adding the dependency ongithub-apiensures smooth interaction with GitHub.
941-945: Disable Auto-Release in Nexus StagingSetting
<autoReleaseAfterClose>false</autoReleaseAfterClose>provides better control over the release process by requiring a manual sign-off before finalising the repository. This cautious approach is beneficial in production-grade deployments.
981-995: Consistent GPG Signing ConfigurationThe maven-gpg-plugin configurations for artifact signing (both for normal and distribution artifacts) consistently use
signerset to "bc". Confirm that "bc" is the desired signing mechanism across your release pipeline.
1077-1104: Update Maven Plugin VersionsUpdating several plugin versions (e.g. maven-clean-plugin, maven-deploy-plugin, maven-dependency-plugin, etc.) ensures compatibility with newer build requirements and improved security. This consistency in version management supports a more robust build process.
