## Release Activities

### At the beginning of the cycle

- [ ] Create a new branch `release-notes-v04x` and add the new related release notes file.

All team members are expected to open PRs for adding new release notes items when they add a new change to the k6 code base. The issue's assignee should remember from time to time to do it, if some PRs are forgotten.
