  • manual edit the list of commits
  • add a section in http://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/release-notes/ in the master branch of ceph in the release-notes.rst file with the list of commits
  • backport the release notes to the release branch when they are final. Ideally this is done before the point release is published. If not it can be backported shortly afterwards.
  • add the release to the timeline
  • the release notes come with an introduction that is prepared in a separate file . It can be edited if something significant must not be forgotten and it does not need to well written because it is a draft.
