We'll probably need to make sure the tag that's created doesn't have leading zero's in the month part too. ie 25.1 vs 25.01

Should we write release notes?

@eradman has already been creating release notes in the wiki: https://github.com/getredash/redash/wiki/Release-Notes 😄

We'll probably need to make sure the tag that's created doesn't have leading zero's in the month part too. ie 25.1 vs 25.01

Do we want to drop the leading zero? As long as we're consistent in the future either way is fine.

This is is the sequence I have in mind:

git checkout 25.01.0-dev
git checkout -b v25.1
vim package.json redash/__init__.py pyproject.toml  # set version to 25.1.0
git commit -a -m "25.1.0 release"
git push --set-upstream origin v25.1
gh release create v25.1.0 --target v25.1 --title v25.1.0 --notes "v25.1.0 release"

In this scheme any bug fixes and patches can be applied to the v25.1 branch, followed by a minor release.

Do we want to drop the leading zero?

Yeah, we definitely do. It has the potential (and likelihood) of causing issues with things that can't deal with leading zeros, and we don't really need to take that chance.

@arikfr Pointed out a while ago that it'll probably cause issues with older versions of Redash that are doing version checks too, so we should fix the problem before the next release.

This is is the sequence I have in mind ...

Looks good to me, nothing is immediately jumping out as wrong with that. 😄

Created the v25.1 branch: https://github.com/getredash/redash/tree/v25.1

Next steps I think are to create a Github release and deploy and image to Dockerhub

[eradman]

Created a release, we can edit the description as needed

Next step is to publish a Docker image

[eradman]

Manually ran the Preview Image action, which succeeded in pushing the 25.1.0 image:

https://hub.docker.com/layers/redash/redash/25.1.0/images/sha256-f1eb5a2529cfcddb35d7cec37858441557620164e9899d3dd0692073769f7fd3

Pulling this image to see how it works!

I just merged getredash/website#812. It seems like we've completed all the checklist items—can we go ahead and close it?
Also, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to this release. :)

I think so. If we'll start a new ticket for a bugfix-only minor release.

Also, I want to take a moment to thank everyone who contributed to this release. :)

I concur!

[arikfr]

Congrats and thank you everyone who took part in this 🙏 🎉
