- Run ./contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.sh, commit + push results
- Run ./util/gen-manpages.sh, commit + push results
- PROTIP: Man page creation must be done after updating the version number and recompiling and before Debian package creation
- Update checkpoints in src/chainparams.cpp via util/checkpoints.pl
- checkpoints.pl will just generate the data you need, it must be manually copied into the correct place

- Checkpoints make block verification a bit faster, because nodes can say "is this block a descendant of a checkpoint block" instead of doing full consensus checks, which take more time
- Checkpoints also provide a bit of security against some attacks that would create malicious chainforks
- Update man pages
- Update copyright years (if applicable) with contrib/devtools/replace.pl
- Update copyright years (if applicable) with util/replace.pl
- Do a fresh clone and fresh sync with new checkpoints
- Stop node, wait 20 minutes, and then do a partial sync with new checkpoints
- Make Gitea release
- Make Git Tag (Gitea can do this)
- Use contrib/devtools/gen-linux-binary-release.sh to make a Linux release binary
- Use util/gen-linux-binary-release.sh to make a Linux release binary
- Use util/build-debian-package.sh to make an x86 Debian package for the release
- Use util/build-debian-package-ARM.sh (does this still work?) to make an ARM Debian package for the release
- Upload the debian packages to the Gitea release page, with SHA256 sums
