Overview

This PR prepares the Playwright Java project for the 1.56 release by creating the necessary release branches and updating all Maven project versions from 1.50.0-SNAPSHOT to 1.56.0.

Changes Made

Release Branches Created

Two release branches have been created locally as part of the release process:

  1. release-1.56 - Main release branch for version 1.56
  2. mark-v-1.56.0 - Release marker branch for version 1.56.0

Both branches contain all the version updates and are ready to be pushed to upstream.

Version Updates

Updated Maven version to 1.56.0 in all POM files using the existing ./scripts/set_maven_version.sh script. This ensures consistency across the entire project.

Files Updated:

  • pom.xml (parent POM)
  • driver/pom.xml
  • driver-bundle/pom.xml
  • playwright/pom.xml
  • examples/pom.xml
  • tools/api-generator/pom.xml
  • tools/test-cli-fatjar/pom.xml
  • tools/test-cli-version/pom.xml
  • tools/test-local-installation/pom.xml
  • tools/test-spring-boot-starter/pom.xml
  • tools/update-docs-version/pom.xml

Documentation

Added RELEASE_BRANCHES.md documenting:

  • The branches that were created
  • Complete list of updated files
  • Verification results
  • Instructions for pushing branches to upstream

Verification

✅ Maven validation passes
✅ Maven compilation succeeds with new version
✅ All POM files consistently updated to version 1.56.0

Next Steps

After this PR is merged, the release-1.56 and mark-v-1.56.0 branches should be pushed to upstream using:

git push upstream release-1.56
git push upstream mark-v-1.56.0

This follows the standard release process outlined in the issue.

Original prompt

cut release branch release-1.56 from latest master and push to upstream: git checkout -b release-1.56 && git push upstream release-1.56
cut a mark-v-1.56.0 branch off release-1.56 branch
update version in maven projects: ./scripts/set_maven_version.sh 1.56.0
