Description

Figure out what needs to be done beyond the following…

1. Create release branch

git switch -c cassandra-4.1 trunk
git push --set-upstream origin cassandra-4.1

2. Bump trunk's version

git switch trunk
# increment version to 4.2
edit build.xml debian/changelog CHANGES.txt NEWS.txt

2a. Update jvm-dtest supported upgrade paths

• https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/test/distributed/org/apache/cassandra/distributed/upgrade/UpgradeTestBase.java#L85-L96

3. Add `4.1.x` to jira versions
(no existing tickets will be changed - assignees need to change appropriate bugs from 4.x to 4.1.x)

4. Update docker images to include cassandra-4.1
(Docker images also need to be deployed)

5. Add pipeline to ci-cassandra
https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/blob/trunk/jenkins-dsl/cassandra_job_dsl_seed.groovy#L51

6. Add dtest version and upgrade paths

• https://github.com/apache/cassandra-dtest/blob/trunk/upgrade_tests/upgrade_manifest.py
• https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/.circleci/config.yml#L2374
• https://github.com/apache/cassandra-builds/blob/trunk/build-scripts/cassandra-test.sh#L41

7. Update how_to_commit documentation
