### Issues
Check issues at https://github.com/Icinga/icinga2
### Backport Commits
For minor versions you need to manually backports any and all commits from the
master branch which should be part of this release.
### Authors
Update the [.mailmap](.mailmap) and [AUTHORS](AUTHORS) files:
```
git checkout master
git log --use-mailmap | grep '^Author:' | cut -f2- -d' ' | sort | uniq > AUTHORS
```
## Version
Update the version:
```
sed -i "s/Version: .*/Version: $VERSION/g" VERSION
```
## Changelog
Link to the milestone and closed=1 as filter.
Manually update the best of collected from the
milestone description.
## Git Tag
> **Major Releases**: Commit these changes to the `master` branch.
>
> **Minor Releases**: Commit changes to the `support` branch.
```
git commit -v -a -m "Release version $VERSION"
```
Create a signed tag (tags/v) on the `master` branch (for major
releases) or the `support` branch (for minor releases).
```
git tag -s -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION
```
Push the tag:
```
git push --tags
```
**For major releases:** Create a new `support` branch:
```
git checkout master
git push
git checkout -b support/2.12
git push -u origin support/2.12
```
**For minor releases:** Push the support branch, cherry-pick the release commit
into master and merge the support branch:
```
git push -u origin support/2.11
git checkout master
git cherry-pick support/2.11
git merge --strategy=ours support/2.11
git push origin master
```
