Release Checklist

1. Update the following files on a branch prerel-v3.2.1:

   Major Release

   1. Dockerfile
   2. Dockerfile.slim
   3. Syntax.ml

   Minor Release

   1. Syntax.ml

2. Create a pull-request on GitHub and merge it into master.

3. Create a release branch release-v3.2.1 from master.

4. • Thoroughly test release-v3.2.1, including end-to-end testing with the blockchain.
   • Clear Travis-CI cache before these tests, to ensure that latest opam packages are fetched and our code is tested against that.

5. • No new features are to be allowed into a release branch, hot-fixes only. To push a hot-fix to a release branch, create a PR against the release branch (not master). Test the PR with the same rigour as in (4) above.

   • If applicable, cherry-pick or merge each hot-fix to master.

6. Once the release branch is ready, create a new release on GitHub against the tip of the branch, tagging it as v3.2.1. Add release notes if applicable.

   • Prepare release notes by filtering out commits since the last release: https://github.com/Zilliqa/scilla/compare
   • List the current versions of all opam packages used.
     • opam show -f name,version package1 package2 ...
