+# Release
+
+The guide talks about how to release a new version of etcd.
+
+The procedure includes some manual steps for sanity checking, but it can probably be further scripted. Please keep this document up-to-date if making changes to the release process.
+
+## Release management
+
+etcd community members are assigned to manage the release each etcd major/minor version as well as manage patches
+and to each stable release branch. The managers are responsible for communicating the timelines and status of each
+release and for ensuring the stability of the release branch.
+
+| Releases | Manager |
+| -------- | ------- |
+| 3.1 patch (post 3.1.0) | Joe Betz [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz) |
+| 3.2 patch (post 3.2.0) | Joe Betz [@jpbetz](https://github.com/jpbetz) |
+| 3.3 patch (post 3.3.0) | Gyuho Lee [@gyuho](https://github.com/gyuho) |
+
+## Prepare release
+
+Set desired version as environment variable for following steps. Here is an example to release 2.3.0:
+
+```
+export VERSION=v2.3.0
+export PREV_VERSION=v2.2.5
+```
+
+All releases version numbers follow the format of [semantic versioning 2.0.0](http://semver.org/).
+
+### Major, minor version release, or its pre-release
+
+- Ensure the relevant milestone on GitHub is complete. All referenced issues should be closed, or moved elsewhere.
+- Remove this release from [roadmap](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/master/ROADMAP.md), if necessary.
+- Ensure the latest upgrade documentation is available.
+- Bump [hardcoded MinClusterVerion in the repository](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/v3.4.15/version/version.go#L29), if necessary.
+- Add feature capability maps for the new version, if necessary.
+
+### Patch version release
+
+- To request a backport, devlopers submit cherrypick PRs targeting the release branch. The commits should not include merge commits. The commits should be restricted to bug fixes and security patches.
+- The cherrypick PRs should target the appropriate release branch (`base:release-<major>-<minor>`). `hack/patch/cherrypick.sh` may be used to automatically generate cherrypick PRs.
+- The release patch manager reviews the cherrypick PRs. Please discuss carefully what is backported to the patch release. Each patch release should be strictly better than it's predecessor.
+- The release patch manager will cherry-pick these commits starting from the oldest one into stable branch.
+
+## Write release note
+
+- Write introduction for the new release. For example, what major bug we fix, what new features we introduce or what performance improvement we make.
+- Put `[GH XXXX]` at the head of change line to reference Pull Request that introduces the change. Moreover, add a link on it to jump to the Pull Request.
+- Find PRs with `release-note` label and explain them in `NEWS` file, as a straightforward summary of changes for end-users.
+
+## Tag version
+
+- Bump [hardcoded Version in the repository](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/v3.4.15/version/version.go#L30) to the latest version `${VERSION}`.
+- Ensure all tests on CI system are passed.
+- Manually check etcd is buildable in Linux, Darwin and Windows.
+- Manually check upgrade etcd cluster of previous minor version works well.
+- Manually check new features work well.
+- Add a signed tag through `git tag -s ${VERSION}`.
+- Sanity check tag correctness through `git show tags/$VERSION`.
+- Push the tag to GitHub through `git push origin tags/$VERSION`. This assumes `origin` corresponds to "https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd\".
+
+## Build release binaries and images
+
+- Ensure `docker` is available.
+
+Run release script in root directory:
+
+```
+TAG=gcr.io/etcd-development/etcd ./scripts/release.sh ${VERSION}
+```
+
+It generates all release binaries and images under directory ./release.
+
+## Sign binaries, images, and source code
+
+etcd project key must be used to sign the generated binaries and images.`$SUBKEYID` is the key ID of etcd project Yubikey. Connect the key and run `gpg2 --card-status` to get the ID.
+
+The following commands are used for public release sign:
+
+```
+cd release
+for i in etcd-*{.zip,.tar.gz}; do gpg2 --default-key $SUBKEYID --armor --output ${i}.asc --detach-sign ${i}; done
+for i in etcd-*{.zip,.tar.gz}; do gpg2 --verify ${i}.asc ${i}; done
+
+# sign zipped source code files
+wget https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/archive/${VERSION}.zip
+gpg2 --armor --default-key $SUBKEYID --output ${VERSION}.zip.asc --detach-sign ${VERSION}.zip
+gpg2 --verify ${VERSION}.zip.asc ${VERSION}.zip
+
+wget https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/archive/${VERSION}.tar.gz
+gpg2 --armor --default-key $SUBKEYID --output ${VERSION}.tar.gz.asc --detach-sign ${VERSION}.tar.gz
+gpg2 --verify ${VERSION}.tar.gz.asc ${VERSION}.tar.gz
+```
+
+The public key for GPG signing can be found at [CoreOS Application Signing Key](https://coreos.com/security/app-signing-key)
+
+
+## Publish release page in GitHub
+
+- Set release title as the version name.
+- Follow the format of previous release pages.
+- Attach the generated binaries and signatures.
+- Select whether it is a pre-release.
+- Publish the release!
+
+## Publish docker image in gcr.io
+
+- Push docker image:
+
+```
+gcloud docker -- login -u _json_key -p "$(cat /etc/gcp-key-etcd.json)" https://gcr.io
+
+for TARGET_ARCH in "-arm64" "-ppc64le" "-s390x" ""; do
+  gcloud docker -- push gcr.io/etcd-development/etcd:${VERSION}${TARGET_ARCH}
+done
+```
+
+- Add `latest` tag to the new image on [gcr.io](https://console.cloud.google.com/gcr/images/etcd-development/GLOBAL/etcd?project=etcd-development&authuser=1) if this is a stable release.
+
+## Publish docker image in Quay.io
+
+- Build docker images with quay.io:
+
+```
+for TARGET_ARCH in "amd64" "arm64" "ppc64le" "s390x"; do
+  TAG=quay.io/coreos/etcd GOARCH=${TARGET_ARCH} \
+    BINARYDIR=release/etcd-${VERSION}-linux-${TARGET_ARCH} \
+    BUILDDIR=release \
+    ./scripts/build-docker ${VERSION}
+done
+```
+
+- Push docker image:
+
+```
+docker login quay.io
+
+for TARGET_ARCH in "-arm64" "-ppc64le" "-s390x" ""; do
+  docker push quay.io/coreos/etcd:${VERSION}${TARGET_ARCH}
+done
+```
+
+- Add `latest` tag to the new image on [quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/coreos/etcd?tag=latest&tab=tags) if this is a stable release.
+
+## Announce to the etcd-dev Googlegroup
+
+- Follow the format of [previous release emails](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/etcd-dev).
+- Make sure to include a list of authors that contributed since the previous release - something like the following might be handy:
+
+```
+git log ...${PREV_VERSION} --pretty=format:"%an" | sort | uniq | tr '\n' ',' | sed -e 's#,#, #g' -e 's#, $##'
+```
+
+- Send email to etcd-dev@googlegroups.com
+
+## Post release
+
+- Create new stable branch through `git push origin ${VERSION_MAJOR}.${VERSION_MINOR}` if this is a major stable release. This assumes `origin` corresponds to "https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd\".
+- Bump [hardcoded Version in the repository](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/blob/v3.4.15/version/version.go#L30) to the version `${VERSION}+git`.
