+Checklist for new releases
+=======
+
+# Pre-Release
+
+1. Make sure any new modules are documented sufficiently enough and check docs with
+   `cargo doc --all-features --open`.
+2. Bump version specifier in `Cargo.toml`.
+3. Update `CHANGELOG.md`: Convert `unreleased` section into version section with date and add new
+   `unreleased` section.
+4. Run `cargo test --all-features`.
+5. Run `cargo fmt` and `cargo clippy`. Check `cargo msrv` against MSRV in `Cargo.toml`.
+6. Wait for CI/CD results for EGit and Github. These also check cross-compilation for bare-metal
+   targets.
+
+# Release
+
+1. `cargo publish`
+
+# Post-Release
+
+1. Create a new annotaged tag and push it with `git tag -a satrs-mib-<version>` and
+   `git push -u origin satrs-mib-<version>`
+2. Create a new release on `EGit` based on the tag.
