+# Release Checklist
+
+* Update minor versions dependencies
+* Update Cargo.toml with the new version number
+* Search for the old version number to find references to it in documentation and update those occurrences.
+* Run `make pr-prep`, ensuring everything is green
+* Prepare release notes for the Github release page
+* Make a new commit (don't push) indicating the crate name and version number e.g.    
+    > Release unftp version x.y.x
+
+    or
+
+    > Release slog-redis version x.y.x
+* Run `make publish`
+* Push to Github
+* Create the release in Github using tag format \[{component}-\]{version} e.g.
+  > v0.12.9
+  or
+  > slog-redis-v0.1.2
+* Create the artifacts: `make release-artifacts` and add to Github
+* Build and push the docker containers
