# Release Checklist

This file is retained for historical context only.  It documented
the gate between 1.0.0-rc1 and 1.0.0 final and is no longer the
canonical release procedure.

For the current release process, see [`../RELEASING.md`](../RELEASING.md):

  - Semver scheme and dev / release version conventions.
  - Pre-release upgrade-SQL audit checklist.
  - Version compatibility matrix and on-disk format constant
    registry.
  - Step-by-step procedure: bump-version, audit, upgrade-tests
    matrix update, release-check, PR, tag, push.
  - Automated workflows table.

The 1.0.0 historical content is preserved in
`git show v1.0.0:doc/release-checklist.md`.
