RELEASE.md

Release

Versioning

• Bump a MAJOR (TBD).
• Bump a MINOR when you add at least one new field. In this way, old capture files become incompatible since we now support new fields.
• Bump a PATCH when you just need a fix inside the tool. For example a verifier issue or a bug in the userspace side.

Release steps

1. update supported fields in the README.md with bpftree f output
2. update release_changelog.md file with bpftree f output
3. bump bpftree version in the code toolVersion
4. push a new tag (see next step)
