Dot release process
Dot releases are done for high priority and high severity security issues and customer bugs. The general steps are:
The issue is escalated by the customer / customer support team and an incident channel is opened.
Our developer team investigates the issue as soon as possible.
A pull request for the issue is submitted and dev/QA reviewed, and then merged.
The bug fix is cherry-picked to the relevant release branch.
A release candidate (e.g. 7.2.1-RC1) is cut for quick final smoke tests.
After QA approval, a final release build is cut (e.g. 7.2.1) which is ready to be shared with the customer.
The time-to-fix varies, but urgent dot releases are always prioritized.
Please refer to the Dot Release Playbook for a most up-to-date checklist.
