==> see CHANGELOG for recent work

Build ZkClient from sources:

• git clone https://github.com/sgroschupf/zkclient.git
• ./gradlew test (run the test suite)
• ./gradlew jars (build the jars)
• (see available build targets by executing './gradlew tasks' )

Howto release ZkClient as maven artifact

• sonatype repository is already configured: https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-4783
• generate gpg key and publish it to hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net (https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/How+To+Generate+PGP+Signatures+With+Maven may be of help)
• tell gradle about the gpg key and sonatype credentials, e.g. through ~/.gradle/gradle.properties:
  • sonatypeUsername=$yourSonatypeUser
  • sonatypePassword=$yourSonatypePassword
  • signing.keyId=$yourKeyId
  • signing.password=$yourKeyPassphrase
  • signing.secretKeyRingFile=/Users/$username/.gnupg/secring.gpg
• set version in build.gradle to the release version (e.g. 0.5-dev to 0.5) and commit
• update CHANGELOG.markdown
• upload the signed artifacts to the Sonatype repository
  • gradle clean uploadArchives
• go to https://oss.sonatype.org/index.html#stagingRepositories and close the repository
• check the artifacts and if everything is ok, release the repository (on the same page)
• syncing to central maven repository will then be activated (might take around 2h)
• tag with
  • git tag -a $releaseVersion -m "Tag for $releaseVersion release"
  • git push --tags
• set version in build.gradle to the next dev version (e.g 0.5 to 0.6-dev) and commit
