# SilentDragon Release Process

## High-Level Philosophy

Beware of making high-risk changes too close to a new release, because they will not get as much testing as they should. Don't merge large branches which haven't undergone lots of testing just before a release.

It is best to keep doc/relnotes/README.md up to date as changes and bug fixes are made. It's more work to summarize all changes and bugfixes just before the release.
