+Use this template to keep track of everything that needs to be done to
+bump the major version of a library within a collection.
+
+For example, Ignition-X is currently under development, and it's using
+ign-math42. This checklist includes all that's needed to use ign-math43
+instead.
+
+This script can be used to do most of the work:

+
+<!-- Be sure to include all downstream libraries that will need to be bumped too -->
+
+* <LIBRARY NAME AND VERSION>: <!-- Explain why bump is needed -->
+    - [ ] Source code of all downstream libraries ([example](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-transport/pull/149))

+    - [ ] Use `main` branch on `gazebodistro` ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/gazebodistro/pull/42))
+    - [ ] Build nightlies from the `main` branch ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/release-tools/pull/437))
+    - [ ] Update gzdev to use nightlies on CI ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/gzdev/pull/31))

+## During development
+
+- [ ] Bump major version of libraries early in the development cycle (use [bump_libraries](bump_libraries.md) template).
+- [ ] Work with artist on logo.
+
+## Feature freeze
+
+- [ ] Choose name for next release.
+- [ ] Merge each library forward from previous versions
+- [ ] Label pull requests being considered to enter release with [beta](https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aignitionrobotics+label%3Abeta&state=open)
+    Pull requests opened against the new collection after then:
+    - Bug fixes: will be considered for the initial release and labeled `beta`
+    - New features: will not be considered for the initial release.
+- [ ] Pre-release libraries as all `beta` labels are merged.
+- [ ] Make collection pre-release after all libraries are pre-released.
+- [ ] Update public documentation to install from pre-releases instead of nightlies.
+
+## Code freeze
+
+- [ ] Start T-Shirt campaign
+- [ ] Hold tutorial party ([example](https://community.gazebosim.org/t/ignition-edifice-tutorial-party-support-open-source-and-get-t-shirts/866))
+- [ ] PRs fixing documentation and critical bugs can be merged and pre-released
+- As libraries have all their documentation reviewed:
+    - [ ] Create stable branches off of main
+    - [ ] Make stable releases
+
+## Release day
+
+- [ ] Make collection stable release after all libraries are released.
+- [ ] Update `gazebodistro` ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/gazebodistro/pull/31))
+- [ ] Make GitHub releases for all the X.0.0 versions ([example](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-transport/releases/tag/ignition-transport9_9.0.0))
+- [ ] Update docs to say release is stable ([example](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/docs/pull/171))
+- [ ] Make announcement
+
+## Post-release
+
+- [ ] Enable Jenkins CI for new stable branches ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/release-tools/pull/299))
+- [ ] Remove nightlies for release branches on `gzdev` ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/gzdev/pull/19))
+- [ ] Bump all `main` branches to the next major versioni (`X.0.0~pre1`)
+    - [ ] Source code ([example](https://github.com/ignitionrobotics/ign-common/pull/193))
+    - [ ] Add files to `gazebodistro` ([example](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/gazebodistro/pull/12))
+    - [ ] Add aliases to `homebrew-simulation` ([example](https://github.com/osrf/homebrew-simulation/commit/1f8602af6f52e06e0542eebfbdbe97f5f6cf950c))
+    - [ ] Create new `-release` repositories (use [this script](https://github.com/ignition-tooling/release-tools/blob/master/release-repo-scripts/new_ignition_release_repos.bash))
+
+
+If the collection will be officially paired with a ROS 2 distro:
+
+- [ ] Update REP-2000 when ROS 2 distro is added ([example](https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rep/pull/291))
+- [ ] Import stable releases into https://packages.ros.org ([example](https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/reprepro-updater/pull/109))
