#### Step 3: Update any REPLACEME tags in the docs

If this release includes new APIs then it is necessary to document that they
were first added in this version. The relevant commits should already include
`REPLACEME` tags as per the example in the
[docs README](../tools/doc/README.md). Check for these tags with
`grep REPLACEME doc/api/*.md`, and substitute this node version with
`sed -i "s/REPLACEME/$VERSION/g" doc/api/*.md` or
`perl -pi -e "s/REPLACEME/$VERSION/g" doc/api/*.md`.

### 4. Create Release Commit

The `CHANGELOG.md`, `doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_*.md`, and `src/node_version.h`
changes should be the final commit that will be tagged for the release. When
committing these to git, use the following message format:
