# Release Checklist

1. Check if `mitmproxy-rs` needs a new release.
2. Make sure that `CHANGELOG.md` is up-to-date with all entries in the "Unreleased" section.
3. Invoke the [release workflow](https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/actions/workflows/release.yml) from the GitHub UI.
4. The spawned workflow runs will require manual confirmation on GitHub which you need to approve twice:

5. Once everything has been deployed, update the website.
6. Verify that the front-page download links for all platforms are working.
