Preflight Checklist

This checklist is to be run prior to cutting the release branch.

• Bump Golang dependencies
• Review forked dependencies for upstream security patches
• Bump Web UI dependencies
• Make a new docs/VERSION folder
• Update VERSION in Makefile to next dev tag
• Update TELEPORT_VERSION in assets/aws/Makefile
• Update mentions of the version in examples/ and README.md
• Search code for DELETE IN and REMOVE IN comments and clean up if appropriate
• Update docs/faq.mdx "Which version of Teleport is supported?" section with release date and support info
• Update the CI buildbox image
  • Update the BUILDBOX_VERSION in build.assets/Makefile
  • Run make dronegen and ensure all buildbox references in the resulting yaml refer to the new image
  • Commit and merge. Drone should build new buildbox images and push to public.ecr.aws
  • Once the new images are confirmed in public.ecr.aws, update the build yaml files under .cloudbuild to refer to the new image
• Update the list of OCI images to rebuild nightly in rebuild-teleport-oci-distroless-cron.yml on master
• Update .github/workflow/codeql.yml configuration to list the new release branch. The oldest release branch listed can simultaneously be removed.
