==== Announce on Mailing List
Send an email, signed with the same PGP key used to sign the release
artifacts, to the mailing list to announce the release.
Send an email to the mailing list to announce the release. The content of the
announcement email is generated with the `release-announcement.py` which
automatically includes all the necessary links, hash values, and wraps the
text in a PGP signature.
Consider including some or all of the following in the email:
* A link to the release and the release notes
* A link to the docs
* Describe the type of release (stable, bug fix, RC)
* Hash values (SHA1, SHA256, MD5) for the release WAR file.
+
The SHA1 and MD5 can be taken from the artifact page on Sonatype. The
SHA256 can be generated with
`openssl sha -sha256 bazel-bin/release.war` or an equivalent
command.
For details refer to the documentation in the script's header, and/or the
help text:
