1# The purpose of this workflow is to orchestrate Wasmtime's release process as
2# much as possible. This specific workflow is responsible for a few timed parts
3# of the process:
4#
5# * On the 5th of every month a new release branch is automatically created and
6#   the version number of the `main` branch is increased
7# * On the 20th of every month the previous release branch is published.
8#
9# This automation is all done through PRs except for the creation of the release
10# branch itself which is an write-action performed by this script. Otherwise
11# humans are ideally reviewing and rubber-stamping the output of the script all
12# other steps of the way.
13#
14# Note that this script also helps manage patch releases by sending a PR to the
15# release branch with a bumped version number for all crates with a patch-bump.

85          This is an [automated pull request][process] from CI which indicates
86          that the next [\`release-$cur\` branch][branch] has been created and
87          the \`main\` branch is getting its version number bumped from $cur to
88          $num.
89
90          Maintainers should take a moment to review the [release
91          notes][RELEASES.md] for $cur, and if any changes are necessary send
92          PRs to the \`main\` branch to update [RELEASES.md] and then backport
93          these PRs to the [release branch][branch].
94
95          Maintainers should also review that aarch64-apple-darwin builds
96          are passing via [embark's CI](https://buildkite.com/embark-studios/wasmtime-aarch64-apple-darwin).
97
98          Another automated PR will be made in roughly 2 weeks time when for
99          the actual release itself.
100
101          If any issues arise on the \`main\` branch before the release is made
102          then the issue should first be fixed on \`main\` and then backported
103          to the \`release-$cur\` branch.
