ReleaseForge is a user-friendly software for project admins and release engineers working on projects hosted at SF. It streamlines the release management process with a GUI interface.
The ReleaseForge project is a software utility designed to serve as an alternative to the SourceForge File Release System (FRS). As open-source software, ReleaseForge caters specifically to the administrators and release engineers of SourceForge projects. With ReleaseForge, users can easily create new releases for their projects and edit existing releases in a more user-friendly and efficient way than with the traditional SourceForge web interface.
After giving ReleaseForge a try, users are likely to feel as though they'd been missing out all along. Frequent project updaters stand to benefit the most from ReleaseForge, as it streamlines the process and saves a considerable amount of time.
This latest release of ReleaseForge includes some important changes, the most notable being the recent deprecation of the FTP upload mechanism by Sourceforge. This policy change makes ReleaseForge prior to version 1.3 all but useless. Fortunately, this latest version of ReleaseForge now enables SFTP uploads, which is one of the newly supported methods. In order to use ReleaseForge 1.3 or later, it is necessary first to obtain Paramiko 1.74 or greater. This module is necessary for uploading files to SourceForge via SFTP, and can be downloaded from the appropriate source.
