- Make sure all new features are well tested by Nightly users and all issues addressed as good as possible. Check GitHub issues, Google Play crash reports, messages on `@Tusky@mastodon.social`, emails on `tusky@connyduck.at`, #Tusky hashtag.
- Merge the latest Weblate translations (Weblate -> Repository maintenance -> commit all changes, then merge the automatic PRs by @nailyk-weblate on GitHub)
- Check all the translations (Android Studio shows warnings on problems). Sometimes translators add faulty translations that would crash Tusky in this language, e.g. wrong number of formatting parameters. In this case it is usually easiest to just delete the string. [Example cleanup](https://github.com/tuskyapp/Tusky/commit/feaea70af418c77178985144a2d01a8e97725dfd).
- Update `versionCode` and `versionName` in `app/build.gradle`
- Add a new short changelog under `fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs`. Use the next versionCode as the filename. This is so translators on Weblate have the duration of the beta to translate the changelog and F-Droid users will see it in their language on the release. If another beta is released, the changelogs have to be renamed. Note that changelogs shouldn't be over 500 characters or F-Droid will truncate them.

## Versioning
Since Tusky is user facing software that has no Api, we don't use semantic versioning. Tusky verion numbers only consist of two numbers major.minor with optional commit hash (nightly/test releases) or beta flag (beta releases).

- Only bugfixes, new translations, refactorings or performance improvements in the release -> new minor version
