Prepare the release notes
...
You will need to cut-paste the release notes you prepared in the earlier steps. (DO NOT list the entire commit log for release notes).
- Pull up the site https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/releases/
- The new tag created during the release-preparation step above will automatically show up on https://github.com/apache/incubator-pinot/releasethe page. 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.
