+Any changes not yet added to the changelog are added by lead developer and in that merge request the complete team is
+asked if there is anything missing.
There are three changelogs that need to be updated: CE, EE and CI.
+Remove the DISCLAIMER text in the stable branches.

## Create RC1 (CE, EE, CI)
[Follow this How-to guide](howto_rc1.md) to create RC1.
+## Prepare CHANGELOG for next release
+
+Once the stable branches have been created, update the CHANGELOG in `master` with the upcoming version and add 70 empty
+lines to it. We do this in order to avoid merge conflicts when merging the CHANGELOG.
+
+Make sure that the CHANGELOG im master contains the following disclaimer message:
+
+> DISCLAIMER: The upcoming release contains empty lines to reduce the number of merge conflicts, scroll down to see past releases.
+
## QA
Create issue on dev.gitlab.org `gitlab` repository, named "GitLab X.X QA" in order to keep track of the progress.
