Release v3.29.1

Overview

This is a checklist for releases. This is filled in by both the releaser and the reviewer where necessary.

Update Documentation

• Create a new release in the whats-new section and copy the release CHANGELOG from TheThingsIndustries/lorawan-stack. The title is the release version and the date is the release date.
• Copy the contents of the latest UPGRADING.md from the lorawan-stack-aws to /the-things-stack/host/aws/ecs/changelog
• Remove empty sections from the created release file.
• Update the documentation version to match the current PATCH, if necessary (3.${minor}.${patch}). Note that this previously included a "v" prefix and only included a minor, but the patch must be included or repository and CLI links will break, and no "v" should be prefixed.
• To generate documentation, create a clone of TheThingsIndustries/lorawan-stack, and checkout the git tag of the release.
• To generate API documentation, run the following from within the clone of TheThingsIndustries/lorawan-stack:

$ tools/bin/mage ttiProto:hugoData

• Copy generated files to lorawan-stack-docs by running the following commands in lorawan-stack-docs:

$ rsync --recursive --delete --remove-source-files ../lorawan-stack/api/ttn.lorawan.v3/ ./doc/data/api/ttn.lorawan.v3/
$ rsync --recursive --delete --remove-source-files ../lorawan-stack/api/tti.lorawan.v3/ ./doc/data/api/tti.lorawan.v3/

NOTE: This assumes that the parent directory of lorawan-stack-docs also contains lorawan-stack. If not, you'll need to adjust the commands accordingly.

• To generate and export CLI documentation from within the clone of TheThingsIndustries/lorawan-stack, first run the following command to build the CLI:

$ go build -tags tti ./cmd/tti-lw-cli

• Then export the CLI documentation using following commands:

$ HOME='$HOME' ./tti-lw-cli gen-md-doc -o ../lorawan-stack-docs/doc/content/ttn-lw-cli

$ HOME='$HOME' ./tti-lw-cli gen-json-tree -o ../lorawan-stack-docs/doc/data/commands

• Replace links to end-devices/templates with templates as they are not exported correctly:

$ sed -i.bak 's/end-devices_templates/templates/g' ../lorawan-stack-docs/doc/content/ttn-lw-cli/ttn-lw-cli_end-devices.md

• Clean up:

$ rm ../lorawan-stack-docs/doc/content/ttn-lw-cli/ttn-lw-cli_end-devices.md.bak

NOTE: This assumes that the parent directory of lorawan-stack-docs also contains lorawan-stack. If not, you'll need to adjust the commands accordingly.

@nejraselimovic: When you run ttiProto:hugoData, a tt.swagger.json file is extra created. Please remove this file before you sync assets. For future releases, this process of syncing files will be automated. Ref: https://github.com/TheThingsIndustries/lorawan-stack/pull/4041
