Prepare Release Notes

See example release notes from previous releases on the wiki site and prepare similar notes. 

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MADLIB/MADlib+1.11

1. Update the wiki with these release notes for the new release
2. Update the release notes file in the source code: https://github.com/rashmi815/incubator-madlib/blob/master/RELEASE_NOTES (create PR and merge)

Prepare Tarballs

1. Branch your release:

   git checkout -b <your release name> <commit sha1> 

   push to origin:
   git push origin <your release name>

   


2. Apply signed tag on release branch

   Example:

    git tag -u <GPG KEY ID> --sign <your release name>-rc# -m "Apache MADlib (Incubating) <your release name> RC#" <SHA of HEAD of branch>
    

3. Make a tarball and gzip:
   

   git archive -o ../apache-madlib-<your release name>-incubating-src.tar --prefix=apache-madlib-<your release name>-incubating-src/ <your tag/branch name>
   gzip ../apache-madlib-<your release name>-incubating-src.tar

   Example:

   $ git archive -o ../apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar --prefix=apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src/ 1.11-incubating
   $ gzip ../apache-madlib-1.11-incubating-src.tar
