Release Kalix Java/Scala SDKs

Prepare

• Make sure all important PRs have been merged
• Check that the latest build successfully finished
• Make sure a version of the proxy that supports the protocol version the SDK expects has been deployed to production

You can see the proxy version on prod on grafana or using various other methods.

Cutting the release

• Edit the draft release notes and create the appropriate tag
  • CI will automatically publish to Sonatype OSSRH (Maven Central) based on the tag
  • CI will update the docs/kalix-current branch

Check availability

• Check that docs/kalix-current has been updated
• Check the release on Maven Central

Fix and publish docs

• In case there were important updates, update the supported version in the main docs (affects Supported Languages)
• Add an item to the Release Notes in the documentation
• Release the Kalix documentation to get the SDK docs updates published

Update to the latest version

• Review and merge PR created by bot (should appear here). While reviewing confirm the release version is updated for:
  • kalix-sdk.version in the samples/*/pom.xml files
  • kalix-sdk.version default value in the samples/scala-*/project/plugins.sbt files
  • version in maven-java/**/pom.xml

Check docs update

• Check for updated docs (see the timestamp on the bottom of the page)

Announcements

• Inform Lightbend marketing and engineering if it's a noteworthy release
• Close this issue

Artifacts were published successfully: https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/kalix/kalix-spring-sdk/1.1.4/

But the rest of the release workflow won't run. May be able to finish it manually. Otherwise probably need to bump version again.

Finishing this off manually. We may want to follow up with a 1.1.5 release anyway.
