------------------------

||||
|
||||
Open a new branch (e.g. `release`) and run the following:
|
||||
|
||||
towncrier --version ${VERSION} --date `date -u +%F`
|
||||
|
||||
This collects the release notes using the `towncrier` tool. Please commit the collected release
|
||||
notes afterwards.
|
||||
|
||||
Certain file names are not properly supported by the `towncrier` tool and it ignores them.
|
||||
Check `newsfragments` directory for any forgotten release notes
|
||||
|
||||
Step 3: Merge the release notes PR
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Step 4: Push git tag

||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Create a tag:
|
||||
|
||||
git tag -s v${VERSION} -m v${VERSION}
|
||||
|
||||
Push the tag:
|
||||
|
||||
git push origin master --tags
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Step 5: Draft a new release on Github
|
||||
-------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Go to https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/releases and draft a new release.
|
||||
|
||||
Use git tag as the title of the release: `vX.Y.Z`.
|
||||
|
||||
Use the release notes generated by the `towncrier` tool as the description of the releases.
|
||||
|
||||
Upload the artifacts created by Azure pipelines as the binaries of the release. The following
|
||||
artifacts should be uploaded to Github:
|
||||
|
||||
