Release process guidance
## Release version and Docker images
0. Document all the changes for new release in [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/blob/master/docs/CHANGELOG.md).
1. Create release tag with `git tag v1.xx.y` in `master` branch and `git tag v1.xx.y-cluster` in `cluster` branch.
2. Run `make release` for creating `*.tar.gz` release archive with the corresponding `_checksums.txt` inside `bin` directory.
3. Run `make publish` for creating and publishing Docker images.
4. Repeat steps 3-4 for `cluster` branch.
5. Push release tag to https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics : `git push origin v1.xx.y`.
6. Go to https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/releases , create new release from the pushed tag on step 5 and upload `*.tar.gz` archive with the corresponding `_checksums.txt` from step 2.
## Helm Charts
The helm chart repository [https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/)
### Bump the version of images.
In that case, don't need to bump the helm chart version
1. Need to update [`values.yaml`](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/values.yaml), bump version for `vmselect`, `vminsert` and `vmstorage`
2. Specify the correct version in [`Chart.yaml`](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/Chart.yaml)
3. Update version [README.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/README.md), specify the new version in the documentation
4. Push changes to master. `master` is a source of truth
5. Rebase `master` into `gh-pages` branch
6. Run `make package` which creates or updates zip file with the packed chart
7. Run `make merge`. It creates or updates metadata for charts in index.yaml
8. Push the changes to `gh-pages` branch
### Updating the chart.
1. Update chart version in [`Chart.yaml`](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/Chart.yaml)
2. Update [README.md](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-cluster/README.md) file, reflect changes in the documentation.
3. Repeat the procedure from step _4_ previous section.
