LLVM's release process is an ever-evolving chaos machine. Since our last talk on it in 2023, we have shipped six releases and made a number of changes to how we plan, cut, and stabilize a release. This talk is a practical status update on what changed, why it changed, what works well today, and what still creates stress for release managers and contributors. I'll also introduce our two new Release Managers and close with ideas for where the process should go next, with the goal of fewer surprises when "the release is coming."
