     2  
     3  1. Ensure CHANGELOG.md is up to date.
     4    - Use `git log --pretty=format:'- %s [%h]' HEAD...vX.X.X` to list all the commits since the last release
     5    - Categorize the changes into
     6      - Breaking Changes (requires a major version)
     7      - New Features (minor version)
     8      - Fixes (fix version)
     9      - Maintenance (which in general should not be mentioned in `CHANGELOG.md` as they have no user impact)
    10  1. Update `VERSION` in `config/config.go`
    11  1. Commit, push, and release:
    12    ```
    13    git commit -m "vM.m.p"
    14    git push
    15    gh release create "vM.m.p"
    16    git fetch --tags origin master
