+# Releasing new version
+
+## Sanity checks:
+
+1. Check `spec_version` value in [runtime's lib.rs](./substrate/bin/node/runtime/src/lib.rs). There are 2: one for mainnet and one for testnet. They should be the same and higher than the last release.
+2. Check `version` in [runtime's Cargo.toml](./substrate/bin/node/runtime/Cargo.toml). Major version should match the `spec_version`.
+3. Check `version` in [cli's Cargo.toml](./substrate/bin/node/cli/Cargo.toml). Major version should match the `spec_version`. This is the version that will be used as the name of the release and tag.
+
+## Release
+
+1. Go to the [Release new version](https://github.com/liberland/liberland_substrate/actions/workflows/release.yml) action in GitHub, select `Run workflow`, choose the branch (usually `develop` or `main`) and run it. This action will do the following:
+    * Run unit-tests
+    * Run `try-runtime` migration checks (which detects things like state inconsitencies or pallet/state version mismatches)
+    * Run fork test for both bastiat and mainnet and check if whole state is still parsable post-fork
+    * Build runtimes in a reproducible way
+    * Build new binary
+    * Create a new GitHub Release
+    * Build & publish new Docker Image
+2. Wait for the `Release new version` action to finish.
+3. Go to [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/liberland/liberland_substrate/releases). New release should be there, ready for deployment.
+4. (Optional) Open a new PR that bumps versions for the next release. [Sample PR](https://github.com/liberland/liberland_substrate/pull/404/files).
