* Set `DOLPHIN_VERSION_MAJOR` to `YYMM`.
* Set `DOLPHIN_VERSION_MINOR` to the patch number. If creating a hotfix release, use the number corresponding to the patch letter (for example, `a` is `1`, `b` is `2`, etc). Otherwise, set to `0`.
* This field must be set to a number [as CPack does not support non-numerical values in the minor or patch version fields](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/19310).
* **The version constants commit should be the last one in the branch.**
5. Push the branch to GitHub: `git push -u origin <branch name>`.
6. Smoke test the produced builds.
* The builds can be downloaded at `https://dolphin-emu.org/download/list/release-prep-YYMM/1/`.

* Now is the time to fix any last-minute issues. Additional builds can be created by pushing new commits to GitHub. **Remember that the version constants commit should be the last one in the branch**, so the branch should be rebased or abandoned in favor of a fresh one.
7. Create an **annotated** tag: `git tag -a <version> -m "Release for some date"`
8. Push the tag to GitHub: `git push origin <version>`.
9. The release builds will automatically show up on the normal download page.
10. Publish the corresponding Progress Report, if any.
* After publishing, post the link to the Progress Report onto Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky, etc.
11. Push the new release to the `beta` update track through the `Update Tracks` interface on the dolphin-emu.org admin panel.
11. Merge the release branch back into master: `git checkout master`, `git merge --no-ff <branch name>`.
* `--no-ff` is important, as we require a merge commit.
12. If this is a regular release, merge the release branch back into `master`: `git checkout master`, `git merge --no-ff <branch name>`.
* `--no-ff` is important, as we require a merge commit.
13. If this is a hotfix release, cherry pick the version constants commit made in step 4 into `master`.
