## Making release notes
|
|
This documents the process for making release notes for a release.
|
|
|
|
### 1) Note the PR number of the previous release
|
|
Find the PR that was merged with the previous release. Remember this number
|
|
_TODO_: Figure out a way to record this somewhere to save the next release engineer time.
|
|
|
|
### 2) Build the release-notes tool
|
|
```bash
|
|
${KUBERNETES_ROOT}/build/make-release-notes.sh <pr-number-from-1>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 3) Trim the release notes
|
|
This generates a list of the entire set of PRs merged since the last release. It is likely long
|
|
and many PRs aren't worth mentioning.
|
|
|
|
Open up ```candidate-notes.md``` in your favorite editor.
|
|
|
|
Remove, regroup, organize to your hearts content.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 4) Update CHANGELOG.md
|
|
With the final markdown all set, cut and paste it to the top of ```CHANGELOG.md```
|
|
|
|
### 5) Update the Release page
|
|
* Switch to the [releases](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/kubernetes/releases) page.
|
|
* Open up the release you are working on.
|
|
* Cut and paste the final markdown from above into the release notes
|
|
* Press Save.
