+
+# Release
+
+## Overview
+
+1. Test the revision to be released
+2. Prepare RC and vote (detailed later)
+3. Publish (detailed later)
+4. Announce the new release on the mailing list (detailed later)
+5. Announce the new release on social media (detailed later)
+
+## Prepare release environment
+
+This step is needed only when you act as a release manager the first time.
+
+We use the following variables in multiple steps:
+
+* `GH_TOKEN`: GitHub personal access token to automate GitHub related
+  operations
+* `GPG_KEY_ID`: PGP key ID that is used for signing official artifacts
+  by GnuPG
+
+We use `dev/release/.env` to share these variables in multiple
+steps. You can use `dev/release/.env.example` as a template:
+
+```console
+$ cp dev/release/.env{.example,}
+$ chmod go-r dev/release/.env
+$ editor dev/release/.env
+```
+
+See
+https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens
+how to prepare GitHub personal access token for `GH_TOKEN`.
+
+Note that you also need to install `gh` command because our scripts
+use `gh` command to use GitHub API. See
+https://github.com/cli/cli#installation how to install `gh`
+command.
+
+If you don't have a PGP key for `GPG_KEY_ID`, see
+https://infra.apache.org/release-signing.html#genegrate how to
+generate your PGP key.
+
+Your PGP key must be registered to the followings:
+
+  * https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/arrow/KEYS
+  * https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/arrow/KEYS
+
+See the header comment of them how to add a PGP key.
+
+Apache arrow committers can update them by Subversion client with
+their ASF account. e.g.:
+
+```console
+$ svn co https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/arrow
+$ cd arrow
+$ head KEYS
+(This shows how to update KEYS)
+$ svn ci KEYS
+```
+
+## Prepare RC and vote
+
+You can use `dev/release/release_rc.sh`.
+
+Requirements to run `release_rc.sh`:
+
+* You must be an Apache Arrow committer or PMC member
+* You must prepare your PGP key for signing
+
+Run `dev/release/release_rc.sh` on a working copy of
+`git@github.com:apache/arrow-swift` not your fork:
+
+```console
+$ git clone git@github.com:apache/arrow-swift.git
+$ cd arrow-swift
+$ dev/release/release_rc.sh ${VERSION} ${RC}
+(Send a vote email to dev@arrow.apache.org.
+ You can use a draft shown by release_rc.sh for the email.)
+```
+
+Here is an example to release 21.0.0 RC0:
+
+```console
+$ dev/release/release_rc.sh 21.0.0 0
+```
+
+The arguments of `release_rc.sh` are the version and the RC number. If
+RC0 has a problem, we'll increment the RC number such as RC1, RC2 and
+so on.
+
+## Publish
+
+We need to do the followings to publish a new release:
+
+* Publish the source archive to apache.org
+
+Run `dev/release/release.sh` on a working copy of
+`git@github.com:apache/arrow-swift` not your fork to publish the
+source archive to apache.org:
+
+```console
+$ dev/release/release.sh ${VERSION} ${RC}
+```
+
+Here is an example to release 21.0.0 RC0:
+
+```console
+$ dev/release/release.sh 21.0.0 0
+```
+
+Add the release to ASF's report database via [Apache Committee Report
+Helper](https://reporter.apache.org/addrelease.html?arrow).
+
+## Announce the new release on the mailing list
+
+Send an email to "announce@apache.org" from your Apache email, CC'ing
+dev@arrow.apache.org/user@arrow.apache.org.  See an [example
+post](https://lists.apache.org/thread/bxpt0r8kw0ltgywnylqdroskkt6966z4).
+
+```
+To: announce@apache.org
+CC: dev@arrow.apache.org, user@arrow.apache.org
+Subject: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Arrow Swift 21.0.0 released
+
+The Apache Arrow community is pleased to announce the Arrow Swift 21.0.0
+release.
+
+The release is available now.
+
+Source archive:
+  https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/arrow/apache-arrow-swift-21.0.0/
+
+On Swift Package Index:
+  https://swiftpackageindex.com/apache/arrow
+
+Read the full changelog:
+  https://github.com/apache/arrow-swift/releases/tag/v21.0.0
+
+What is Apache Arrow?
+---------------------
+
+Apache Arrow is a universal columnar format and multi-language toolbox
+for fast data interchange and in-memory analytics. It houses a set of
+canonical in-memory representations of flat and hierarchical data
+along with multiple language-bindings for structure manipulation. It
+also provides low-overhead streaming and batch messaging, zero-copy
+interprocess communication (IPC), and vectorized in-memory analytics
+libraries.
+
+Please report any feedback to the GitHub repository:
+  https://github.com/apache/arrow-swift/issues
+  https://github.com/apache/arrow-swift/discussions
+
+Regards,
+The Apache Arrow community.
+```
+
+## Announce the new release on social media
+
+Make a post on our [BlueSky](https://bsky.app/profile/arrow.apache.org) and
+[LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/apache-arrow/) accounts. (Ask
+your fellow PMC members for access if need be, or ask a PMC member to make the
+post on your behalf.)  The post should link to the blog post. See [example
+BlueSky post](https://bsky.app/profile/arrow.apache.org/post/3lioi6ov5h22d)
+and [example LinkedIn post](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/apache-arrow_apache-arrow-java-1820-release-activity-7298633716522758144-L71x).
+
+## Verify
+
+We have a script to verify a RC.
+
+You must install the following commands to use the script:
+
+* `curl`
+* `go`
+* `gpg`
+* `shasum` or `sha256sum`/`sha512sum`
+* `swift` 5.10 (6.0 or later don't work)
+* `tar`
+
+To verify a RC, run the following command line:
+
+```console
+$ dev/release/verify_rc.sh ${VERSION} ${RC}
+```
+
+Here is an example to verify the release 21.0.0 RC0:
+
+```console
+$ dev/release/verify_rc.sh 21.0.0 0
+```
+
+If the verification is successful, the message `RC looks good!` is shown.

+and vote on the release. See [3] for how to validate a release candidate.
+
+The vote will be open for at least 72 hours.
+
+[ ] +1 Release this as Apache Arrow Swift ${version}
+[ ] +0
+[ ] -1 Do not release this as Apache Arrow Swift ${version} because...
