Document our release process
While most our release process is automated (awesome) there are still manual steps involved. We should:
- Documentation how the automation works
- Document the manual steps (potentially writing an upgrade guide, updating release notes with upgrade guide, creating blog entry even if its just a link to the release notes)
In particular, let's be clear about what goes in the "github release notes", changelog, and blog entry.
Though I have an outsider's perspective, I would recommend that the changelog entry and GitHub release notes be copies of one another.
js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can follow the migration plan here https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4336 and read the migration guide.
Please feel to reopen with any comments before 2023-06-05. We will do a final pass on reopened issues afterward (see https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/4336).
