How to create a release

Write Changelog

• Make sure every change is written in the changelog.
• Make sure the Changelog.md has the correct version number and the release date.
• Copy the changelog of this version to .CurrentChangelog.md. (Our release CI will take this file as the release notes)
• Create a pull request, make sure the CI are all passed, and merge it.

Create the Pre-Release

• Use git tag to create a new release tag major.minor.patch-rc.version. And push this tag to GitHub.
• Wait for the CI builds and pushes the release binaries and release notes to the GitHub release page.
• Check the Pre-release checkbox and publish the pre-release.

Create the Official Release

• Make sure the tests of features and the extensions are all passed, and issues are fixed.
• Make sure the Changelog.md and .CurrentChangelog.md have the correct version number and the release date.
• Use git tag to create a new release tag major.minor.patch. And push this tag to GitHub.
• Wait for the CI builds and pushes the release binaries and release notes to the GitHub release page.
• Publish the release.
