- It also needs to be prepended to [the `ReleaseHistory` article](https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/ReleaseHistory) (TASVideos Wiki markup). Apart from changing markup language, also remember to include download links and the release date (will need to finish this after publishing).
- There's also [the ext. tool changelog](https://github.com/TASEmulators/BizHawk-ExternalTools/wiki/Partial-changelog-for-ApiHawk). If an ApiHawk change doesn't affect Lua then it might not warrant inclusion on the main changelog, but this one includes even the tiny method signature changes.
1. Update `VersionInfo.MainVersion` if it was set for a point release but this will be a minor release
1. Update the `release` branch to point to `master` (and wait for CI...)
1. Update the `release` branch to point to `master`
- [GitLab CI](https://gitlab.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all&ref=release) will build the `release` branch shortly after pushing it.
1. Check for AV false positives
- Separately upload the release archive and `EmuHawk.exe` alone to [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload). A false positive from the Microsoft engine is the only one that really matters.
- If it does happen... add a random `<EmbeddedResource/>` to the assembly or something and try again idk ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
1. Create a "Release" on GitHub
- Check the date—if it's April 1st or thereabouts, ABORT MISSION. Seriously, it's just not worth it.
- Set it to create a new tag.
- [GitLab CI](https://gitlab.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/-/pipelines?page=1&scope=all&ref=release) will build the `release` branch shortly after pushing it. Grab the `package_release_*` artifacts, replace "VERSIONHERE" in the filenames, recompress the Linux release as `.tar.gz`, and attach them to the Release.
- Take the `package_release_*` artifacts you've already downloaded, replace "VERSIONHERE" in the filenames, recompress the Linux release as `.tar.gz`, and attach them to the Release.
- For the description, list any new or graduating cores, optionally some large improvements, and if the Windows prereq installer was updated link that too.
- Click "Publish" and pray.
