# Release Checklist | ||
|
||
The following checks should be completed before publishing a new release of the | ||
Polkadot/Kusama/Westend runtime or client. | ||
|
||
### Runtime Releases | ||
|
||
The following should be done *prior* to tagging the potential release. Upon | ||
completion, tag the commit and proceed with the [All Releases](#all-releases) steps. | ||
|
||
- [ ] List any [native runtime](#native-runtimes) versions associated with the release. | ||
- [ ] Has incremented [`spec_version`](#spec-version) for any native runtimes from any existing use on public (non-private/test) networks. | ||
- [ ] Verify [new migrations](#new-migrations) complete successfully, and the runtime state is | ||
correctly updated. | ||
- [ ] Verify previously [completed migrations](#old-migrations-removed) are removed. | ||
- [ ] Verify pallet and [extrinsic ordering](#extrinsic-ordering) has stayed the same. Bump | ||
`transaction_version` if not. | ||
- [ ] Verify new extrinsics have been correctly whitelisted/blacklisted for | ||
[proxy filters](#proxy-filtering). | ||
- [ ] Verify [benchmarks](#benchmarks) have been updated for any modified runtime logic. | ||
- [ ] Verify [Polkadot JS API](#polkadot-js) are up to date with the latest runtime changes. | ||
|
||
### All Releases | ||
|
||
- [ ] Check that the new client versions have [run on the network](#burn-in) without issue for 12 | ||
hours. | ||
- [ ] Check that a draft release has been created at https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot/releases with relevant [release notes](#release-notes) | ||
- [ ] Check that [build artifacts](#build-artifacts) have been added to the draft-release | ||
|
||
## Notes | ||
|
||
### Burn In | ||
|
||
Ensure that Parity DevOps has run the new release on Westend, Kusama, and Polkadot validators for | ||
at least 12 hours prior to publishing the release. | ||
|
||
### Build Artifacts | ||
|
||
Add any necessary assets to the release. They should include: | ||
|
||
- Linux binary | ||
- GPG signature of the Linux binary | ||
- SHA256 of binary | ||
- Source code | ||
- Wasm binaries of any runtimes | ||
|
||
### Release notes | ||
|
||
The release notes should list: | ||
|
||
- The priority of the release (i.e., how quickly users should upgrade) | ||
- Which native runtimes and their versions are included | ||
- The proposal hashes of the runtimes as built with [srtool](https://gitlab.com/chevdor/srtool) | ||
|
||
The release notes may also list: | ||
|
||
- Free text at the beginning of the notes mentioning anything important regarding this release | ||
- Notable changes (those labelled with B[1-9]-* labels) separated into sections | ||
|
||
### Spec Version | ||
|
||
A runtime upgrade must bump the spec number. This may follow a pattern with the client release | ||
(e.g. runtime v12 corresponds to v0.8.12, even if the current runtime is not v11). | ||
|
||
### New Migrations | ||
|
||
Ensure that any migrations that are required due to storage or logic changes are included in the | ||
`on_runtime_upgrade` function of the appropriate pallets. | ||
|
||
### Old Migrations Removed | ||
|
||
Any previous `on_runtime_upgrade` functions from old upgrades must be removed to prevent them from | ||
executing a second time. | ||
|
||
### Extrinsic Ordering | ||
|
||
Offline signing libraries depend on a consistent ordering of call indices and functions. Compare | ||
the metadata of the current and new runtimes and ensure that the `module index, call index` tuples | ||
map to the same set of functions. In case of a breaking change, increase `transaction_version`. | ||
|
||
Note: Adding new functions to the runtime does not constitute a breaking change as long as they are | ||
added to the end of a pallet (i.e., does not break any other call index). | ||
|
||
### Proxy Filtering | ||
|
||
The runtime contains proxy filters that map proxy types to allowable calls. If the new runtime | ||
contains any new calls, verify that the proxy filters are up to date to include them. | ||
|
||
### Benchmarks | ||
|
||
Run the benchmarking suite with the new runtime and update any function weights if necessary. | ||
|
||
### Polkadot JS | ||
|
||
Ensure that a release of [Polkadot JS API]() contains any new types or interfaces necessary to | ||
interact with the new runtime. |
