# Release Checklist
This is a list of the things that need to happen during a release.
1. Open the associated milestone. All issues and PRs should be closed. If
they are not you should reassign all open issues and PRs to future
milestones.
1. Go through the commit history since last release. Ensure that all PRs
that have landed are marked with the milestone. You can use this to
show all the PRs that are merged on or after YYY-MM-DD:
`https://github.com/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=repo%3Arustwasm%2Fwasm-pack+merged%3A%3E%3DYYYY-MM-DD`
1. Go through the closed PRs in the milestone. Each should have a changelog
label indicating if the change is docs, fix, feature, or maintenance. If
there is a missing label, please add one.
1. Choose an emoji for the release. Try to make it some sort of transition
from the previous releases emoji (point releases can be a little weirder).
1. Create a new branch "#.#.#" where "#.#.#" is the release's version.
1. Add this release to the `CHANGELOG.md`. Use the structure of previous
entries.

Version is the response of `https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/LATEST_RELEASE`.
