1. Check for the most recent develop SHA that passes all the tests and contains all the features / bug fixes that need to go into the release at https://concourse.apachegeode-ci.info/beta/teams/main/pipelines/develop/jobs/UpdatePassingRef.
2. Ensure in JIRA, that all tickets with {version} as the fix version are either closed or resolved. If not inform the the assignees to either resolve/close it or if not fixed then increment the fix version in the ticket

3. Create the release branch.

   Code Block
   language bash
   git checkout develop git checkout -b release/{version}

8. Review the benchmark baseline.  It should be the more recent of {previous release} or develop/highwater.  branch should stay as develop even for release branches.  Note: as the release progresses, consider creating and using a dedicated version/highwater tag on the release branch.

   See ci/pipelines/shared/jinja.variables.yml around line 19:

   Code Block
   language yml
   benchmarks: baseline_branch: develop/highwater baseline_version: '' branch: develop

11. Update the version number in gradle.properties of geode-examples and remove -SNAPSHOT

    No Format
    version = 1.7.0 geodeVersion = 1.7.0

    
    

12. Commit the version changes and push the release branch of geode-examples
