This process handles patch releases from version `vX.Y.Z` to `vX.Y.Z+1` assuming that `vX.Y.Z` is the latest released version of go-ipfs.
- [ ] Get temporary permissions to force-push to `release-*` branches
- [ ] Fork a new branch (`release-vX.Y.Z`) from `release` and cherry-pick the relevant commits from master (or custom fixes) onto this branch
- [ ] Make a minimal changelog update tracking the relevant fixes to CHANGELOG.
- [ ] version string in `version.go` has been updated (in the `release-vX.Y.Z+1` branch).
- [ ] Use `git cherry-pick -x` so that the commit message says `(cherry picked from commit ...)`
- [ ] Make a minimal changelog update tracking the relevant fixes to CHANGELOG, as its own commit e.g. `docs: update changelog vX.Y.Z+1`
- [ ] version string in `version.go` has been updated (in the `release-vX.Y.Z+1` branch), as its own commit.
- [ ] Make a PR merging `release-vX.Y.Z+1` into the release branch
- [ ] tag the merge commit in the `release` branch with `vX.Y.Z+1`
- [ ] upload to dist.ipfs.io
- This may be unnecessary, e.g. for backports
- [ ] Tag the merge commit in the `release` branch with `vX.Y.Z+1` (ensure the tag is signed)
- [ ] Upload to dist.ipfs.io
1. Build: https://github.com/ipfs/distributions#usage.
