 # Release HOWTO
 
-This file describes the process of making a public release of `docker-compose`.
-Please read it carefully before proceeding!
+The release process is fully automated by `Release.Jenkinsfile`.
 
-## Prerequisites
+## Usage
 
-The following things are required to bring a release to a successful conclusion
-
-### Local Docker engine (Linux Containers)
-
-The release script builds images that will be part of the release.
-
-### Docker Hub account
-
-You should be logged into a Docker Hub account that allows pushing to the
-following repositories:
-
-- docker/compose
-- docker/compose-tests
-
-### Python
-
-The release script is written in Python and requires Python 3.3 at minimum.
-
-### A Github account and Github API token
-
-Your Github account needs to have write access on the `docker/compose` repo.
-To generate a Github token, head over to the
-[Personal access tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens) page in your
-Github settings and select "Generate new token". Your token should include
-(at minimum) the following scopes:
-
-- `repo:status`
-- `public_repo`
-
-This API token should be exposed to the release script through the
-`GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable.
-
-### A Bintray account and Bintray API key
-
-Your Bintray account will need to be an admin member of the
-[docker-compose organization](https://bintray.com/docker-compose).
-Additionally, you should generate a personal API key. To do so, click your
-username in the top-right hand corner and select "Edit profile" ; on the new
-page, select "API key" in the left-side menu.
-
-This API key should be exposed to the release script through the
-`BINTRAY_TOKEN` environment variable.
-
-### A PyPi account
-
-Said account needs to be a member of the maintainers group for the
-[`docker-compose` project](https://pypi.org/project/docker-compose/).
-
-Moreover, the `~/.pypirc` file should exist on your host and contain the
-relevant pypi credentials.
-
-The following is a sample `.pypirc` provided as a guideline:
-
-```
-[distutils]
-index-servers =
-    pypi
-
-[pypi]
-username = user
-password = pass
-```
-
-## Start a feature release
-
-A feature release is a release that includes all changes present in the
-`master` branch when initiated. It's typically versioned `X.Y.0-rc1`, where
-Y is the minor version of the previous release incremented by one. A series
-of one or more Release Candidates (RCs) should be made available to the public
-to find and squash potential bugs.
-
-From the root of the Compose repository, run the following command:
-```
-./script/release/release.sh -b <BINTRAY_USERNAME> start X.Y.0-rc1
-```
-
-After a short initialization period, the script will invite you to edit the
-`CHANGELOG.md` file. Do so by being careful to respect the same format as
-previous releases. Once done, the script will display a `diff` of the staged
-changes for the bump commit. Once you validate these, a bump commit will be
-created on the newly created release branch and pushed remotely.
-
-The release tool then waits for the CI to conclude before proceeding.
-If failures are reported, the release will be aborted until these are fixed.
-Please refer to the "Resume a draft release" section below for more details.
-
-Once all resources have been prepared, the release script will exit with a
-message resembling this one:
-
-```
-You're almost done! Please verify that everything is in order and you are ready
-to make the release public, then run the following command:
-./script/release/release.sh -b user finalize X.Y.0-rc1
-```
-
-Once you are ready to finalize the release (making binaries and other versioned
-assets public), proceed to the "Finalize a release" section of this guide.
-
-## Start a patch release
-
-A patch release is a release that builds off a previous release with discrete
-additions. This can be an RC release after RC1 (`X.Y.0-rcZ`, `Z > 1`), a GA release
-based off the final RC (`X.Y.0`), or a bugfix release based off a previous
-GA release (`X.Y.Z`, `Z > 0`).
-
-From the root of the Compose repository, run the following command:
-```
-./script/release/release.sh -b <BINTRAY_USERNAME> start --patch=BASE_VERSION RELEASE_VERSION
-```
-
-The process of starting a patch release is identical to starting a feature
-release except for one difference ; at the beginning, the script will ask for
-PR numbers you wish to cherry-pick into the release. These numbers should
-correspond to existing PRs on the docker/compose repository. Multiple numbers
-should be separated by whitespace.
-
-Once you are ready to finalize the release (making binaries and other versioned
-assets public), proceed to the "Finalize a release" section of this guide.
-
-## Finalize a release
-
-Once you're ready to make your release public, you may execute the following
-command from the root of the Compose repository:
-```
-./script/release/release.sh -b <BINTRAY_USERNAME> finalize RELEASE_VERSION
-```
-
-Note that this command will create and publish versioned assets to the public.
-As a result, it can not be reverted. The command will perform some basic
-sanity checks before doing so, but it is your responsibility to ensure
-everything is in order before pushing the button.
-
-After the command exits, you should make sure:
-
-- The `docker/compose:VERSION` image is available on Docker Hub and functional
-- The `pip install -U docker-compose==VERSION` command correctly installs the
-  specified version
-- The install command on the Github release page installs the new release
-
-## Resume a draft release
-
-"Resuming" a release lets you address the following situations occurring before
-a release is made final:
-
-- Cherry-pick additional PRs to include in the release
-- Resume a release that was aborted because of CI failures after they've been
-  addressed
-- Rebuild / redownload assets after manual changes have been made to the
-  release branch
-- etc.
-
-From the root of the Compose repository, run the following command:
-```
-./script/release/release.sh -b <BINTRAY_USERNAME> resume RELEASE_VERSION
-```
-
-The release tool will attempt to determine what steps it's already been through
-for the specified release and pick up where it left off. Some steps are
-executed again no matter what as it's assumed they'll produce different
-results, like building images or downloading binaries.
-
-## Cancel a draft release
-
-If issues snuck into your release branch, it is sometimes easier to start from
-scratch. Before a release has been finalized, it is possible to cancel it using
-the following command:
-```
-./script/release/release.sh -b <BINTRAY_USERNAME> cancel RELEASE_VERSION
-```
-
-This will remove the release branch with this release (locally and remotely),
-close the associated PR, remove the release page draft on Github and delete
-the Bintray repository for it, allowing you to start fresh.
-
-## Manual operations
-
-Some common, release-related operations are not covered by this tool and should
-be handled manually by the operator:
-
-- After any release:
-    - Announce new release on Slack
-- After a GA release:
-    - Close the release milestone
-    - Merge back `CHANGELOG.md` changes from the `release` branch into `master`
-    - Bump the version in `compose/__init__.py` to the *next* minor version
-      number with `dev` appended. For example, if you just released `1.4.0`,
-      update it to `1.5.0dev`
-    - Update compose_version in [github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/_config.yml](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/_config.yml) and [github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/_config_authoring.yml](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/_config_authoring.yml)
-    - Update the release note in [github.com/docker/docker.github.io](https://github.com/docker/docker.github.io/blob/master/release-notes/docker-compose.md)
-
-## Advanced options
-
-You can consult the full list of options for the release tool by executing
-`./script/release/release.sh --help`.
+1. edit `compose/__init__.py` to set release version number
+1. commit and tag as `v{major}.{minor}.{patch}`
+1. edit `compose/__init__.py` again to set next development version number
