This is the latest release checklist template that one needs to go through in order to check quality of the release

Prepare the release process

  • Made a copy of the latest release Release-vYYYY-MM-DD documented as a new page on cardano-wallet's wiki called Release-vYYYY-MM-DD' and substituted the version number in the title and the links.
  • Picked up the latest green commgit from the release pipeline and prove it's green by linking the successful buildkite and github actions builds here.
  • Unblock the release blocked on release pipeline build

Update the release page

  • Fix the release note on the draft release automatically created by the release pipeline https://github.com/cardano-foundation/cardano-wallet/releases

Check out the docker image is on the docker hub

  • link: https://hub.docker.com/r/cardanofoundation/cardano-wallet/tags
  • Report the link in the release notes link to docker hub

Check sensitive fields in the API

  • Verify that sensitive fields listed in Cardano/Wallet/Api/Server are still accurate and aren't missing any new ones. 
    sensitive =
    [ "passphrase"
    , "old_passphrase"
    , "new_passphrase"
    , "mnemonic_sentence"
    , "mnemonic_second_factor"
    ]
  • Check out the documentation has been published by the github action

Publication

  • Once two engineers have signed off, publish the release draft.

  • Merge the (administrative) commits created for the release tag back into the master branch.

  • Remember to leave this checklist in an up-to-date status for the next releaser
