github-actions opened this issue · comments

Release Checklist

This is the release checklist for Polkadot v0.9.44. All following
checks should be completed before publishing a new release of the
Polkadot/Kusama/Westend/Rococo runtime or client. The current release candidate can be
checked out with git checkout release-v0.9.44

Runtime Releases

These checks should be performed on the codebase prior to forking to a release-
candidate branch.

  • Verify spec_version has been incremented since the
    last release for any native runtimes from any existing use on public
    (non-private) networks. If the runtime was published (release or pre-release), either
    the spec_version or impl must be bumped.
  • Verify previously completed migrations are
    removed for any public (non-private/test) networks.
  • Verify pallet and extrinsic ordering has stayed
    the same. Bump transaction_version if not.
  • Verify new extrinsics have been correctly whitelisted/blacklisted for
    proxy filters.
  • Verify benchmarks have been updated for any modified
    runtime logic.

The following checks can be performed after we have forked off to the release-
candidate branch or started an additional release candidate branch (rc-2, rc-3, etc)

  • Verify new migrations complete successfully, and the
    runtime state is correctly updated for any public (non-private/test)
    networks.
  • Verify Polkadot JS API are up to date with the latest
    runtime changes.
  • Check with the Signer's team to make sure metadata update QR are lined up
  • Push runtime upgrade to Westend and verify network stability.
