To generate a new Matomo release for example 3.0.0-b1, follow these steps:

• Edit core/Version.php and set the correct version number
• Check that the CI builds is green
• Create a release on Github which will automatically create a git tag.
• Then package the release. Run: ./scripts/build.sh 3.0.0-b1. This script will:
  • the first time it runs it clones the Matomo git repository.
  • then it builds the package, removing any un-necessary files,
  • then it uploads the .zip and .tar.gz packages to https://builds.matomo.org
• The new Matomo version is now shipped to users worldwide,
• Users will now notified in their Administration area, and some users will receive email alerts about the new version.
