Releasing

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

• 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

• Fixup Release schedule
  • remove new version from Release schedule#Future releases
