Cutting a Wagi Release

To cut a release of Wagi, you will need to do the following:

1. Create a pull request that changes the version number for your new version (e.g. 1.2.2 becomes 1.2.3)
   • Cargo.toml is the most important place to make this change
   • Check the docs for hard-coded version strings
2. Merge the PR created in #1 (Such PRs are still required to get approvals, so make sure you get signoff on the PR)
3. Create a new tag with a v and then the version number (v1.2.3)
4. Push the tag up to main on GitHub
   • This will trigger a release build
5. Wait for the release action to complete, and download the binary artifacts that are generated by that action.
6. Generate SHAs of the Windows, Mac, and Linux binaries with shasum or a similar command
7. Go to the GitHub tags page and create a release, adding release notes, and uploading the binaries you downloaded above. The SHAs should go in the release notes.

At this point, you can just verify that all things are good.
