cosmos/cosmos-sdk Release Process

  • 1. Decide on release designation (are we doing a patch, or minor version bump) and start a P.R. for the release
  • 2. Add commits/PRs that are desired for this release that haven’t already been added to develop
  • 3. Merge items in PENDING.md into the CHANGELOG.md. While doing this make sure that each entry contains links to issues/PRs for each item
  • 4. Summarize breaking API changes section under “Breaking Changes” section to the CHANGELOG.md to bring attention to any breaking API changes that affect RPC consumers.
  • 5. Tag the commit { .Release.Name }-rcN
  • 6. Open a branch & PR to merge the pending release back into develop. If any changes are made to the release branch, they must also be made to the pending develop merge, and both must pass tests.
  • 7. Kick off 1 day of automated fuzz testing
  • 8. Release Lead assigns 2 people to perform buddy testing script and update the relevant documentation
  • 9. If errors are found in either #6 or #7 go back to #2 (NOTE: be sure to increment the rcN)
  • 10. After #6 and #7 have successfully completed then merge the release PR and push the final release tag
