The previous version of
script/release
only knew how to release from themaster
branch. Themaster
branch currently has some PRs on it that are ready for a major release, but not for a patch release. To support releasing only the bug fix in #541, we created a branchrc2.19.2
and changedscript/release
how to release from that instead. Set theGH_BASE_BRANCH
variable in the environment to pick a base branch;master
is the default.The 2.19.2 release was generated with this version of the script.
