Releasing

This is a reminder of steps needed to roll out a new release.

Code

• Fix Makefile.versions
• Commit: git commit -m "criu: Version $version"
• Merge it like any other criu changes (create a github pr, get it approved, etc)
• Tag: git tag -a v$version -m '$summary'
• Push: git push origin v$version

Wiki

You can use the following as a checklist.

• Make sure previous version is listed in Releases#Old versions
• Add release metadata:
  • name to Template:Codename
  • date to Template:Release date
• Add an image for the new version
• Create Download/criu/NEWVERSION (for example, see Download/criu/4.2)
• Bump Template:Last version
• Add new version to Changelogs
• Fixup Release schedule
  • remove new version from Release schedule#Future releases
  • add previous version to Release schedule#Past releases
