1 +# Patch Release Checklist

2 +

4 +

5 +- [ ] Fork a new branch (`release-vX.Y.Z`) from `release` and cherry-pick the relevant commits from master (or custom fixes) onto this branch

6 +- [ ] Make a minimal changelog update tracking the relevant fixes to CHANGELOG.

7 +- [ ] version string in `version.go` has been updated (in the `release-vX.Y.Z+1` branch).

8 +- [ ] Make a PR merging `release-vX.Y.Z+1` into the release branch

9 +- [ ] tag the merge commit in the `release` branch with `vX.Y.Z+1`

10 +- [ ] upload to dist.ipfs.io

11 + 1. Build: https://github.com/ipfs/distributions#usage.

12 + 2. Pin the resulting release.

13 + 3. Make a PR against ipfs/distributions with the updated versions, including the new hash in the PR comment.

14 + 4. Ask the infra team to update the DNSLink record for dist.ipfs.io to point to the new distribution.

15 +- [ ] cut a release on [github](https://github.com/ipfs/go-ipfs/releases) and upload the result of the ipfs/distributions build in the previous step.
