### Changing channels
When cutting a new channel branch these pre-steps are required:
#### Create the new branch
1. Pick your branch point for release on master.
1. Create the branch. The name should be "v" + the first 2 "version" fields
from Cargo.toml. For example, a Cargo.toml with version = "0.9.0" implies
the next branch name is "v0.9".
1. Push the new branch to the solana repository
1. Update Cargo.toml on master to the next semantic version (e.g. 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0)
by running `./scripts/increment-cargo-version.sh`, then rebuild with a
`cargo build --all` to cause a refresh of `Cargo.lock`.
1. Note the Cargo.toml in the repo root directory does not contain a version. Look at any other Cargo.toml file.
1. Create a new branch and push this branch to the solana repository.
1. `git checkout -b <branchname>`
1. `git push -u origin <branchname>`
#### Update master with the next version
1. After the new branch has been created and pushed, update Cargo.toml on **master** to the next semantic version (e.g. 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0)
by running `./scripts/increment-cargo-version.sh`, then rebuild with
`cargo build` to cause a refresh of `Cargo.lock`.
1. Push your Cargo.toml change and the autogenerated Cargo.lock changes to the
master branch
