Release Checklist | items to be completed for each release |
- Confirm anything outstanding for release with other maintainers on #besu-release in Discord
- Update changelog if necessary, and merge a PR for it to main
- Notify maintainers about updating changelog for in-flight PRs
- Optional: for hotfixes, create a release branch and cherry-pick, e.g.
release-<version>-hotfix
- Optional: create a PR into main from the hotfix branch to see the CI checks pass
- On the appropriate branch/commit, create a calver tag for the release candidate, format example:
24.4.0-RC2
- Sign-off with team; confirm tag is correct in #besu-release in Discord
- Consensys staff start burn-in using the proposed release tag
- Sign off burn-in; convey burn-in results in #besu-release in Discord
- Using the same git sha, create a calver tag for the FULL RELEASE, example format
24.4.0

- publishes the docker
latest
tag variants
