-
The Smart Contracts Team creates a PR; review done by someone else from the Smart Contracts Team and someone from the TechOps Team.
-
New contract addresses are published first to specific version URLs, e.g. https://changelog.makerdao.com/releases/mainnet/1.1.1/contracts.json . On the main page there is a disclaimer, saying that the addresses might not be yet in use.
-
Once the spell is cast and everything is deployed, "active" links would be updated to point to the new addresses - https://changelog.makerdao.com/releases/kovan/active/contracts.json and https://changelog.makerdao.com/releases/mainnet/active/contracts.json, as well as https://changelog.makerdao.com/releases/kovan/active/ and https://changelog.makerdao.com/releases/mainnet/active/. For backwards compatibility, URLs using "latest" instead of "active" are also updated to point to the new addresses. Change vercel.json to update the links using redirects.
-
Changes are communicated internally and externally - Rocket Chat and Forum topic.
Projects and developers who need to programmatically encode contract addresses are encouraged to use the "active" URLs rather than copy-pasting the addresses from the current changelog.
