+# Sentry Symfony SDK Release Process
+
+## Release Process
+
+To prepare a new release (e.g., version 4.14.0):
+
+1. **Update master branch**: Always ensure master is up-to-date first
+   ```bash
+   git checkout master
+   git pull origin master
+   ```
+
+2. **Create release branch**: Create a branch named `prepare-X.Y.Z`
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b prepare-4.14.0
+   ```
+
+3. **Find changes since last release**: Check commits since the last version tag
+   ```bash
+   git log --oneline --no-merges 4.13.0..HEAD
+   ```
+
+4. **Update CHANGELOG.md**: Add new version section with:
+   - Version number and announcement text
+   - Features section for new features
+   - Bug Fixes section for bug fixes
+   - Misc section for documentation/readme updates
+   - Use format: `- Description [(#PR)](mdc:https:/github.com/getsentry/sentry-symfony/pull/PR)`
