### Checklist
Release numbering must follow [Semantic Versioning]. These steps assume the current `master`
branch **development** version is *MAJOR.MINOR.0*.
#### On the day of the feature freeze
Change the `master` branch to the next MINOR+1 version:
- [ ] Switch to the `master` branch.
- [ ] Create a new PR branch called `bump_dev_MAJOR_MINOR+1`, eg. `bump_dev_0_22`.
- [ ] Bump the `bump_dev_MAJOR_MINOR+1` branch to the next development MINOR+1 version.
- Change the `Cargo.toml` version value to `MAJOR.MINOR+1.0`.
- Update the `CHANGELOG.md` file.
- The commit message should be "Bump version to MAJOR.MINOR+1.0".
- [ ] Create PR and merge the `bump_dev_MAJOR_MINOR+1` branch to `master`.
- Title PR "Bump version to MAJOR.MINOR+1.0".
Create a new release branch and release candidate tag:
- [ ] Double check that your local `master` is up-to-date with the upstream repo.
- [ ] Create a new branch called `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` from `master`.
- [ ] Bump the `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` branch to `MAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.1` version.
- Change the `Cargo.toml` version value to `MAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.1`.
- The commit message should be "Bump version to MAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.1".
- [ ] Add a tag to the `HEAD` commit in the `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` branch.
- The tag name should be `vMAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.1`
- Use message "Release MAJOR.MINOR+1.0 rc.1".
- Make sure the tag is signed, for extra safety use the explicit `--sign` flag.
- [ ] Push the `release/MAJOR.MINOR` branch and new tag to the `bitcoindevkit/bdk` repo.
- Use `git push --tags` option to push the new `vMAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.1` tag.
If any issues need to be fixed before the *MAJOR.MINOR+1.0* version is released:
- [ ] Merge fix PRs to the `master` branch.
- [ ] Git cherry-pick fix commits to the `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` branch.
- [ ] Verify fixes in `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` branch.
- [ ] Bump the `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` branch to `MAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.x+1` version.
- Change the `Cargo.toml` version value to `MAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.x+1`.
- The commit message should be "Bump version to MAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.x+1".
- [ ] Add a tag to the `HEAD` commit in the `release/MAJOR.MINOR+1` branch.
- The tag name should be `vMAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.x+1`, where x is the current release candidate number.
- Use tag message "Release MAJOR.MINOR+1.0 rc.x+1".
- Make sure the tag is signed, for extra safety use the explicit `--sign` flag.
- [ ] Push the new tag to the `bitcoindevkit/bdk` repo.
- Use `git push --tags` option to push the new `vMAJOR.MINOR+1.0-rc.x+1` tag.
