[#](#) Release process - See if there are any PRs worth squeezing into release. - Go through the changes since last release, add them to changelog. - Add any new authors to the AUTHORS file. - If there's a new Salt release(major), update the script to add support for it. - Bump version for release. - Open PR against develop with these changes. - Once the above PR is merged, open a PR against stable with the changes from develop. - Once the above PR is merged, wait until an automatic PR is opened against stable which updates the checksums. - Once the above PR is merged, tag the release `v{version-here}` and push the tag. - Wait until an automatic PR is opened against the develop branch updating the checksums in `README.rst`. Merge it. - Check that an automated PR was opened against the salt repo updating the bootstrap script, located in `salt/cloud/deploy/bootstrap-salt.sh` - Victory!
