## ✅ Release Checklist
|
|
|
|
**Note for whomever is owning the release:** please capture notes as comments in this issue for anything you noticed that could be improved for future releases. There is a *Post Release* step below for incorporating changes back into the [RELEASE_ISSUE_TEMPLATE](https://github.com/filecoin-project/lotus/blob/master/documentation/misc/RELEASE_ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md), and this is easier done by collecting notes from along the way rather than just thinking about it at the end.
|
|
|
|
First steps:
|
|
|
|
- [ ] Fork a new branch (`release/vX.Y.Z`) from `master` and make any further release related changes to this branch. If any "non-trivial" changes get added to the release, uncheck all the checkboxes and return to this stage.

|
|
|
