## Publication Instructions
### Option 1: Direct Publication (Recommended)
If you have crates.io credentials configured:
```bash
cd rsp-rs
cargo publish
```
The package will be uploaded to crates.io automatically.
### Option 2: With Authentication Token
If you haven't authenticated recently:
```bash
cargo login
# Follow the prompt to enter your crates.io API token
# (get this from https://crates.io/me)
cargo publish
```
### Option 3: Manual Verification First
Before publishing, verify the package one more time:
```bash
# Clean build
cargo clean
# Verify compilation
cargo build --release
# Run all tests
cargo test
# Perform dry-run
cargo publish --dry-run
```
Then publish:
```bash
cargo publish
```
## After Publication
### Immediate Steps (1-5 minutes)
1. Wait for crates.io indexing (usually < 1 minute)
2. Visit https://crates.io/crates/rsp-rs to verify publication
3. Check that v0.3.5 appears in the version list
4. Verify documentation appears on docs.rs
### Documentation (5-30 minutes)
1. Visit https://docs.rs/rsp-rs/0.3.5/ to check generated docs
2. Verify all examples are properly displayed
3. Confirm code examples are syntax-highlighted correctly
4. Check that all links work properly
### Git Tag (Optional but Recommended)
```bash
# Create annotated tag
git tag -a v0.3.5 -m "Version 0.3.5: Large timestamp precision fix
Fixed critical bug where large timestamps (Unix milliseconds) caused
incorrect window boundary calculations. Replaced floating-point
arithmetic with integer arithmetic for perfect precision.
All tests passing. Ready for production use."
# Push tag to GitHub
git push origin v0.3.5
```
### Release Announcement (Optional)
If you maintain a project blog or social media:
**Title:** rsp-rs v0.3.5 Released - Large Timestamp Support Fixed
**Body:**
```
We are pleased to announce rsp-rs v0.3.5, which fixes a critical bug
affecting real-world usage with large timestamps.
Key Changes:
- Fixed precision loss in window boundary calculations
- Large timestamps (Unix milliseconds) now work correctly
- All timestamp ranges from 0 to i64::MAX supported
- No normalization workarounds needed
- Backward compatible with v0.3.4
The fix replaces floating-point arithmetic with pure integer arithmetic,
providing both correctness and performance improvements.
Ready for production use. Update at your convenience.

## Troubleshooting
### Issue: "error: 7 files in the working directory contain changes"
**Solution:** Commit all changes before publishing
```bash
git add -A
git commit -m "Your commit message"
```
### Issue: "error: failed to publish to registry at https://crates.io"
**Possible causes:**
- Not logged in to crates.io
- API token expired or invalid
- Network connectivity issue
**Solutions:**
```bash
# Re-authenticate
cargo login
# Or verify credentials
cargo login --registry crates-io
# Check internet connection and try again
```
### Issue: "error: package already exists at 'crates.io'"
**Cause:** Version 0.3.5 already published
**Solution:** If accidental, use a new version number. To yank (hide) a bad version:
```bash
cargo yank --vers 0.3.5
```
### Issue: Documentation doesn't appear on docs.rs
**Cause:** docs.rs indexing delay or build error
**Solution:**
- Wait 5-10 minutes for indexing
- Check https://docs.rs/crates/rsp-rs/0.3.5/builds for build errors
- Update docs.rs: https://docs.rs/releases/manage/rsp-rs
## Verification Checklist
