== Update tasks ==
* [[https://projects.clusterlabs.org/project/edit/?milestone=1|Create the milestone]] for the first release of the new series.
* Clone T1 for the new series, and decide which platform and dependency versions will be raised.
* Create tasks (or add series tag to existing tasks) to make any changes made possible by the new dependency versions.
* Create task to update the //Clusters from Scratch// document once the new series is available in the OS used for examples.
* Update any desired tasks from [[https://projects.clusterlabs.org/project/board/2/ | Future Release Series]] to add the series tag, raise priority, and assign, as appropriate.
== Notify the community ==
* Create changes page(s) for the new series on this wiki under [[https://projects.clusterlabs.org/w/projects/pacemaker/ | Pacemaker]] (see existing examples).
* Email users@clusterlabs.org with the changes page link and expected release schedule.
== Create and merge PR ==
* Update `INSTALL.md` for the new dependency versions.
* Update the supported series in `CONTRIBUTING.md` and `SECURITY.md`.
* Run `cts/cts-scheduler --update` (only if the tests already all pass!) to update whitespace usage in expected output (which is ignored by regression tests, but can help manual comparisons)
== Other ==
* Create the release branch from the current main branch.
* Ensure CI gets updated to check the main and new series branches only on platforms with the new dependency versions.
* Create, merge, and deploy a PR for the [[https://github.com/ClusterLabs/clusterlabs-www|clusterlabs-www]] repo to add `build-$SERIES.txt` and `title-$SERIES.txt` in `src/static/projects/pacemaker/doc/` (see existing examples)
