To get all the commit since previous release, you can execute a command like this (watch for any new directories that may appear in the pinot source tree). You will need to prepare a summary of these, expanding on items that need explanation. Be sure to highlight any backward incompatible situations, etc. Refer to release notes for 0.2.0 when in doubt. Do NOT just list the commit logs and call it release notes. git log 2a3860229^.. -- pinot-api -- pinot-azure-filesystem -- pinot-broker -- pinot-common -- pinot-connectors -- pinot-controller -- pinot-core -- pinot-hadoop -- pinot-hadoop-filesystem -- pinot-minion -- pinot-orc -- pinot-parquet -- pinot-server -- pinot-tools -- pinot-transport |

- Draft the release notes in a text file (in markdown syntax) and keep it ready. You will need to cut-paste this in this step. (DO NOT list the entire commit log for release notes).
- The new tag created during the release-preparation step above will automatically show up on https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/release. Click "Draft a new release" button, put "tag version" as the one you used from the previous step (e.g. release-0.2.0-rc0). Change the branch field to your release branch.
- Fill in the release note (cut/paste)
- Be sure to check the "This is a pre-release" box.
- Publish the release.
