+# Release Process
+
+## Files to update
+1. **`version/version.go`**: Update `fdwVersion` to the new version (e.g., `"2.2.0"`).
+2. **`CHANGELOG.md`**: Add a new entry at the top for the release version with the current date.
+
+## Commit
+- Commit message for release changes should always be the release version number (e.g., `v2.2.0`).
+
+## Release PRs
+When creating PRs for a release, always create two:
+1. Against `develop`: title should be `Merge branch '<branchname>' into develop`
+2. Against `main`: title should be `Release steampipe-postgres-fdw v<version>`
+
+## Tagging and Build
+1. Create a git tag matching the version (e.g., `v2.2.0`) on the release branch commit.
+2. Push the tag to origin. This triggers the **Build Draft Release** workflow (`.github/workflows/buildimage.yml`).
+3. The workflow builds the FDW shared library for all four platforms:
+   - Darwin x86_64 (`macos-15-intel`)
+   - Darwin ARM64 (`macos-latest`)
+   - Linux x86_64 (`ubuntu-22.04`)
+   - Linux ARM64 (`ubuntu-22.04-arm`)
+4. On success, it creates a **draft release** on GitHub with all build artifacts.
+5. Verify all build jobs pass before proceeding.
+
+## Publishing the FDW Image
+1. Trigger the **Publish FDW Image** workflow (`.github/workflows/publish.yml`) manually via `workflow_dispatch`.
+   - **Branch:** `develop`
+   - **Input `release`:** the version tag (e.g., `v2.2.0`)
+2. This workflow downloads the draft release assets and pushes the FDW image to `ghcr.io/turbot/steampipe/fdw:<version>`.
+3. Non-RC versions are also tagged as `latest`.
+
+## Testing a workflow change without releasing
+1. Push a temporary test tag (e.g., `v0.0.0-test-runner`) from the branch with the workflow change.
+2. Verify all build jobs pass.
+3. Clean up: delete the test tag (`git push origin --delete <tag>`) and the draft release (`gh release delete <tag> --yes`).
