Release plan

• Release workflow doc Renata put together for us; https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1iYIIlkZUcgfVh8SvrzQXPgPyUUNubgUAomTTpcJ9J_Q/edit?usp=sharing
• Ensure all commits in Stable are merged back to Master - 
  • indy-node
  • indy-plenum
  • sovrin
  • sov-token
• Test Indy Node built from Master against Indy Plenum built from Master
  • Test Rich Schema transactions
    • Add system level tests for the new rich schema transactions: https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-test-automation/tree/master/system
      • Probably means adding support for new Rich Schema transactions to LibIny
      • Or wrap Indy-VDR into Indy-SDK to use the Rich Schema support in Indy-VDR (https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/pull/2120)
    • Rich Schema transactions are unlikely to break existing functionality, but bugs in the new transaction type could crash the network if triggered.
      • Could introduce a feature-flag to turn off handling the new transaction type until it is fully tested.
• Replace Indy Node with Ursa:
  
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-node/pull/1607
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-plenum/pull/1369
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-plenum/pull/1481
  • Summary: work is  done in Plenum, but we need to complete the CI / CD work in Indy Node
• Continue this conversation on next Indy Contributors call.
