• Update @since: Find all new @since x.x.x / @since n.e.x.t lines and update those with the new version number, 4.6.0
• Generate changelog: Locally, generate the changelog by running the following Woorelease command: php woorelease.phar cl:generate --product_version=4.6.0 https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-square/tree/trunk. Ensure the changelog updates look correct
• Update changelog: Take the changelog generated from the previous step and update the release PR with those changes, both in the changelog.txt file and readme.txt file
• Open PR: Open a new PR against trunk from the release branch, release/4.6.0

• Merge: Merge the release PR into trunk
• Prepare ZIP: Prepare the zip by running Woorelease locally on the trunk branch: php woorelease.phar build https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-square/tree/trunk. Make sure you are running the proper versions of node, npm and composer to ensure the built files are consistent across releases. Versions can be found in package.json
