# Steps to Release Minikube
## Create a Release Notes PR
Assemble all the meaningful changes since the last release into the CHANGELOG.md file.
See [this PR](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/pull/164) for an example.
## Build and Release a New ISO
This step isn't always required. Check if there were changes in the deploy directory.
If you do this, bump the ISO URL to point to the new ISO, and send a PR.
To do this, build the new iso by running:
```shell
deploy/iso/build.sh
```
This will generate a new iso at 'deploy/iso/minikube.iso'. Then upload the iso and shasum using the following command:
```shell
gsutil cp deploy/iso/minikube.iso gs://minikube/minikube-<increment.version>.iso
gsutil cp deploy/iso/minikube.iso.sha256 gs://minikube/minikube-<increment.version>.iso.sha256
```
## Run integration tests
Run this command:
```shell
make integration
```
Investigate and fix any failures.
## Bump the version in the Makefile and Update Docs to reflect this
See [this PR](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/pull/165) for an example.
Also run `make gendocs` once this change has been made
##Send an initial commit with the Makefile change:
Send a PR for the Makefile change and wait until it is merged. Once the commit is merged, continue.
## Build the Release
Run this command:
```shell
make cross checksum
```
## Add the version to the releases.json file
Add an entry **to the top** of deploy/minikube/releases.json with the **version** and **checksums**.
Send a PR.
This file controls the auto update notifications in minikube.
Only add entries to this file that should be released to all users (no pre-release, alpha or beta releases).
The file must be uploaded to GCS before notifications will go out. That step comes at the end.
The schema for this file can be found in deploy/minikube/schema.json.
An automated test to verify the schema runs in Travis before each submit.
## Upload to GCS:
```shell
gsutil cp out/minikube-linux-amd64 gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/
gsutil cp out/minikube-linux-amd64.sha256 gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/
gsutil cp out/minikube-darwin-amd64 gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/
gsutil cp out/minikube-darwin-amd64.sha256 gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/
gsutil cp out/minikube-windows-amd64.exe gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/
gsutil cp out/minikube-windows-amd64.exe.sha256 gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/
```
## Tag the Release
Run a command like this to tag it locally: `git tag -a v0.2.0 -m "0.2.0 Release"`.
And run a command like this to push the tag: `git push upstream v0.2.0`.
## Create a Release in Github
Create a new release based on your tag, like [this one](https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube/releases/tag/v0.2.0).
Upload the files, and calculated checksums.
## Upload the releases.json file to GCS
This step makes the new release trigger update notifications in old versions of Minikube.
Use this command from a clean git repo:
```shell
gsutil cp deploy/minikube/releases.json gs://minikube/releases.json
```
## Mark the release as `latest` in GCS:
```shell
gsutil cp -r gs://minikube/releases/$RELEASE/* gs://minikube/releases/latest/
```
## Package managers which include minikube
These are downstream packages that are being maintained by others and how to upgrade them to make sure they have the latest versions
| Package Manager | URL | TODO |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Arch Linux AUR | https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/minikube/ | "Flag as package out-of-date"
| Brew Cask | https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/Casks/minikube.rb | Create a new PR in [caskroom/homebrew-cask](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask) with an updated version and appcast checkpoint
#### [How to Generate an Appcast Checkpoint for Homebrew](https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/blob/master/doc/cask_language_reference/stanzas/appcast.md)

## Release Verification
After you've finished the release, run this command from the release commit to verify the release was done correctly:
`make check-release`.
