Deliver a new tarball release #5494

Closed claudioandre-br closed 2 months ago

claudioandre-br commented 5 months ago

Define RELEASE_BUILD and make a short announcement about it.

Some testing is neeeded, but, IMO, this is enough. It is a tarball release.

========== [EDITED] ==========

[!NOTE] My vote is to use 1.10.0-ce. So, tag it as v1.10.0-ce.

Still missing something like this:

I deleted and restored the branch.

I'll need to think of what to do with the 3 change logs we have. So far, CHANGES was for core only, so it's weird to start talking about jumbo in there. I think I'd rather rename it to CHANGES-core and add a note that it's preserved for historical reasons and that the current one is NEWS. We also have CHANGES-jumbo, which I guess we should either update or remove.

claudioandre-br commented 5 months ago

I moved the text to RELEASE-NOTES.md

I also added the revert commit [1] just to document the whole process.

[1] We can add a tag to an older commit in git, but, do not merge unless you want to do so.

So, if I got it right, I should use 1.9.1-ce. Amending the PR.

In reality, the tag is not strictly necessary, but it would be weird not to tag.
