A minor release is preceeded by a feature freeze and created from the 'master' branch. This is a summary of the steps we go through to release a new minor version of BigchainDB Server.
1. Update the `CHANGELOG.md` file in master
1. Create and checkout a new branch for the release, named after the minor version, without a preceeding 'v', e.g. `git checkout -b 0.9.4`
1. Create and checkout a new branch for the minor release, named after the minor version, without a preceeding 'v', e.g. `git checkout -b 0.9` (*not* 0.9.0, this new branch will be for e.g. 0.9.0, 0.9.1, 0.9.2, etc. each of which will be identified by a tagged commit)
1. In `bigchaindb/version.py`, update `__version__` and `__short_version__`, e.g. to `0.9` and `0.9.0` (with no `.dev` on the end)
1. Commit changes, push new branch to Github, and merge it into master
1. Commit that change, and push the new branch to GitHub
1. Follow steps outlined in [Common Steps](#common-steps)
1. In 'master' branch, Edit `bigchaindb/version.py`, increment the minor version to the next planned release, e.g. `0.10.0.dev'.
1. In 'master' branch, Edit `bigchaindb/version.py`, increment the minor version to the next planned release, e.g. `0.10.0.dev'
This is so people reading the latest docs will know that they're for the latest (master branch)
version of BigchainDB Server, not the docs at the time of the most recent release (which are also
available).
