# Release Process
|
|
|
|
The Kubernetes controller-runtime Project is released on an as-needed basis. The process is as follows:
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Releases are done from the `release-MAJOR.MINOR` branches. For PATCH releases is not required
|
|
to create a new branch you will just need to ensure that all big fixes are cherry-picked into the respective
|
|
`release-MAJOR.MINOR` branch. To know more about versioning check https://semver.org/.
|
|
|
|
## How to do a release
|
|
|
|
### Create the new branch and the release tag
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new branch `git checkout -b release-<MAJOR.MINOR>` from master
|
|
2. Push the new branch to the remote repository
|
|
|
|
### Now, let's generate the changelog
|
|
|
|
1. Create the changelog from the new branch `release-<MAJOR.MINOR>` (`git checkout release-<MAJOR.MINOR>`).
|
|
You will need to use the [kubebuilder-release-tools][kubebuilder-release-tools] to generate the notes. See [here][release-notes-generation]
|
|
|
|
> **Note**
|
|
> - You will need to have checkout locally from the remote repository the previous branch
|
|
> - Also, ensure that you fetch all tags from the remote `git fetch --all --tags`
|
|
|
|
### Draft a new release from GitHub
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new tag with the correct version from the new `release-<MAJOR.MINOR>` branch
|
|
2. Add the changelog on it and publish. Now, the code source is released !
|
|
|
|
### Add a new Prow test the for the new branch release
|
|
|
|
1. Create a new prow test under [github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/config/jobs/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/config/jobs/kubernetes-sigs/controller-runtime)
|
|
for the new `release-<MAJOR.MINOR>` branch. (i.e. for the `0.11.0` release see the PR: https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/pull/25205)
|
|
2. Ping the infra PR in the controller-runtime slack channel for reviews.
|
|
|
|
### Announce the new release:
|
|
|
|
1. Publish on the Slack channel the new release, i.e:
|
|
|
|
