# Release instructions
This documents outlines the neofs-api release process, and can be used as a TODO
list for a new release.
## Pre-release checks
These should run successfully:
* `make lint`
## Pre-release actions
These must be run:
* `make doc`
## Writing CHANGELOG
Add an entry to the CHANGELOG.md following the style established there.
Add a codename for releases with new major version, version and release date in
the heading. Write a paragraph describing the most significant changes done in
this release. Then add sections with what was added, changed and removed,
describing each change briefly with a reference to GitHub issues, where
available.
## Release commit
Release commit summary should follow the template:
`Release v<Version> - <Codename island> (<Hangeul>, <Hanja>)`, e.g.:
```
Release v2.9.0 - Anmyeondo (안면도, 安眠島)
```
## Tag the release
Use `vX.Y.Z` tag following the semantic versioning standard. For pre-release
versions use `vX.Y.Z-rc.N` scheme.
## Push changes and release tag to Github
This step should bypass the default PR mechanism to get a correct result (so
that releasing requires admin privileges for the project), both the `master`
branch update and tag must be pushed simultaneously like this:
```
$ git push origin master v2.7.0
```
## Make a proper Github release
Edit an automatically-created release on Github.
Release title has to follow `<version> <Romanized codename> (<Hangeul, Hanja
codename> )` scheme for major releases and just `<version>` for regular point
releases.
## Post-release actions
* Close corresponding X.Y.Z Github milestone
* Make announcements in Matrix and Discord channels
* Update [NeoFS Technical Specification](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neofs-spec)
