Release guides
How to help a release come together, task by task. From the release notes to getting a fix into a patch release.
Each guide covers one task around a release. Most of them matter to anyone who opens a pull request, not only to the people who run the release.
- Release notes and the release party: how the monthly release notes come together, and how you can help.
- Document a backward-incompatible change: tell users what breaks, how to fix it, and why.
- Deprecate something: the deprecation policy, and how deprecations reach the release notes.
- Get a fix into a patch release: how a bug fix reaches the beta and the patch releases.
