Description
Recordkeeping
Use reporter.apache.org to seed the information about the release into future project reports.
(Note: Only PMC members have access report releases. If you do not have access, ask on the mailing list for assistance.)
Flink blog
Major or otherwise important releases should have a blog post. Write one if needed for this particular release. Minor releases that don’t introduce new major functionality don’t necessarily need to be blogged (see flink-web PR #581 for Flink 1.15.3 as an example for a minor release blog post).
Please make sure that the release notes of the documentation (see section "Review and update documentation") are linked from the blog post of a major release.
We usually include the names of all contributors in the announcement blog post. Use the following command to get the list of contributors:
# first line is required to make sort first with uppercase and then lower
export LC_ALL=C
export FLINK_PREVIOUS_RELEASE_BRANCH=<previousReleaseBranch>
export FLINK_CURRENT_RELEASE_BRANCH=<currentReleaseBranch>
# e.g.
# export FLINK_PREVIOUS_RELEASE_BRANCH=release-1.16
# export FLINK_CURRENT_RELEASE_BRANCH=release-1.17
git log $(git merge-base master $FLINK_PREVIOUS_RELEASE_BRANCH)..$(git show-ref --hash ${FLINK_CURRENT_RELEASE_BRANCH}) --pretty=format:"%an%n%cn" | sort -u | paste -sd, | sed "s/\,/\, /g"
Social media
Tweet, post on Facebook, LinkedIn, and other platforms. Ask other contributors to do the same.
Flink Release Wiki page
Add a summary of things that went well or that went not so well during the release process. This can include feedback from contributors but also more generic things like the release have taken longer than initially anticipated (and why) to give a bit of context to the release process.
