• Stage 0 - Finishing Touches
  • Go through relevant libp2p repos looking for unreleased changes that should make it into the release. If you find any, cut releases.
  • Run go get -u ./... to see if there are any out-of-date deps that look important. If there are, bubble them. Try to avoid directly updating indirect deps in go-libp2p's go.mod when possible.
• Stage 1 - Release
  • Publish the release through the GitHub UI, adding the release notes. Some users rely on this to receive notifications of new releases.
  • Announce the release on the discuss.libp2p.io. https://discuss.libp2p.io/t/go-libp2p-v0-26-0-released/1834
• Stage 2 - Update Upstream

  • Update the upstream dependencies to the final release and create PRs.
