:white_check_mark: Core release is approved, proceeding...

[github-actions[bot]]

The core artifacts have been pushed to s01.oss.sonatype.org.

IMPORTANT You need to wait for them to be synced to Maven Central before continuing with the release:

The publication of the core artifacts will take 60-80 minutes.

We started a separate workflow to monitor the situation for you. It will automatically continue the release process once it detects the artifacts have been synced to Maven Central.

If things go south

If things go south, you can monitor the situation manually: * Wait for 1 hour (starting from the time of this comment) * Check that https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/quarkus/quarkus-bom/3.6.8/ does not return a 404 Once these two conditions are met, you can continue with the release by adding a `@quarkusbot continue` comment.

Now is time to update Quarkus in the Quarkus Platform. This is a manual process.

• Follow (roughly) these steps (upstream is the upstream repository, origin is your fork):

cd <your quarkus-platform clone>
git checkout 3.6
git pull upstream 3.6
git checkout -b quarkus-3.6.8
./update-quarkus-version.sh 3.6.8

• Check the diff with git diff

git add .
git commit -m 'Upgrade to Quarkus 3.6.8'
git push origin quarkus-3.6.8

• Create a pull request targeting branch 3.6 (or generic link if targeted link doesn't work)
• Wait for CI to go green
• Merge the pull request
• Make sure you have merged all the pull requests that should be included in this version of the Platform

Once everything has been merged to branch 3.6, you can continue with the release by adding a @quarkusbot continue comment.

:rotating_light: An error occurred while executing step Update quickstarts.

For minor versions, we shouldn't have code updates in the Quickstarts.

So, if you got the build failing, either something got wrongly merged in the main branch of https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-quickstarts/ or something in Quarkus broke the quickstarts.

You can find more information about the failure here.

This is not a fatal error, you can retry by adding a @quarkusbot retry comment.

Connected to the Red Hat VPN, in a clone of https://github.com/quarkusio/quarkus-release, run:

./trigger-performance-testing.sh 3.6.8

to trigger the performance evaluation testing for this release.

Then it is time to write the announcement:

• Update the versions in _data/versions.yaml
• Write a blog post for the website
  • Use a previous announcement as a template (be aware, annoucements are very different for the first final of a major/minor and the follow-up micros)
• Push it and wait for it to be live on quarkus.io - you can follow the progress of the deployment on GitHub Actions
• Send the announcement to quarkus-dev@googlegroups.com
• Send the announcement to various social networks using https://buffer.com/
