local-volume-provisioner is released on an as-needed basis. The process is as follows:
- Create a PR with the CHANGELOG contents, to generate a CHANGELOG follow the steps
in https://github.com/kubernetes-csi/csi-release-tools/blob/master/SIDECAR_RELEASE_PROCESS.md#release-process
- Compare the generated output to the new commits for the release to check if any notable change missed a release note.
- Reword release notes as needed. Make sure to check notes for breaking changes and deprecations.
- If release is a new major/minor version, create a new CHANGELOG-..md file. Otherwise, add the release notes to the top of the existing CHANGELOG file for that minor version.
- Submit a PR for the CHANGELOG changes and wait for it to be merged.
- Make sure that no new PRs have merged in the meantime, and no PRs are in flight and soon to be merged.
