Release Checklist

Here are some tips for planning and making new releases:

• Take a screenshot of the new version
  • Use it in Release Notes
  • Use it in distribution channels
• Write a paragraph that sums up the most important changes
  • Use it in Release Notes
  • Use it in distribution channels
• Make the Release Notes readable by humans, consider including figures, code snippets
