For example, to release version 1.116.0 of the core, do the following steps.

1. Resolve all blocker issues.

2. Update the changelog: git cliff --unreleased --tag 1.116.0 --prepend CHANGELOG.md or git cliff -u -t 1.116.0 -p CHANGELOG.md.

3. add a link to compare previous with current version to the end of CHANGELOG.md: [1.116.0]: https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/compare/v1.115.2...v1.116.0

4. Update the version by running scripts/set_core_version.py 1.116.0.

5. Commit the changes as chore(release): prepare for 1.116.0. Optionally, use a separate branch like prep-1.116.0 for this commit and open a PR for review.

6. Tag the release: git tag -a v1.116.0.

7. Push the release tag: git push origin v1.116.0.

8. Create a GitHub release: gh release create v1.116.0 -n ''.
