Release Checklist

• Run cargo update and review dependency updates. Commit updated Cargo.lock.
• Run cargo outdated and review semver incompatible updates. Unless there is a strong motivation otherwise, review and update every dependency.
• Review changes for every crate in crates since the last ripgrep release. If the set of changes is non-empty, issue a new release for that crate.
• Edit the Cargo.toml to set the new ripgrep version. Run cargo update -p ripgrep so that the Cargo.lock is updated. Commit the changes.
• Create a new signed tag for the ripgrep release. Push it to GitHub.
• Wait for CI to finish creating the release. If the release build fails, then delete the tag from GitHub, make fixes, re-tag, delete the release and push.
• Copy the relevant section of the CHANGELOG to the tagged release notes.
• Run ci/build-deb locally and manually upload the deb package to the release.
• Run cargo publish.
• Run ci/sha256-releases >> pkg/brew/ripgrep-bin.rb. Then edit pkg/brew/ripgrep-bin.rb to update the version numbers and sha256 hashes. Remove extraneous stuff added by ci/sha256-releases. Commit changes.
