+# Patch Release Checklist for Appwrite
+
+When bumping a patch version (e.g., `1.9.0` -> `1.9.1`), follow this checklist.
+
+## Checklist
+
+### Bump console image
+
+Update the console Docker image tag in both files:
+- [ ] `docker-compose.yml` -- update `image: appwrite/console:X.Y.Z`
+- [ ] `app/views/install/compose.phtml` -- update `image: <?php echo $organization; ?>/console:X.Y.Z`
+
+### Bump Appwrite version
+
+These 4 files are always changed together in one commit:
+
+- [ ] **`app/init/constants.php`** -- update `APP_VERSION_STABLE` to the new version (e.g., `'1.9.1'`). In same file, increment `APP_CACHE_BUSTER` by 1.
+- [ ] **`README.md`** -- update the Docker image tag `appwrite/appwrite:X.Y.Z` in all 3 install code blocks (Unix, Windows CMD, PowerShell).
+- [ ] **`README-CN.md`** -- same Docker image tag update in all 3 install code blocks.
+- [ ] **`src/Appwrite/Migration/Migration.php`** -- add the new version to the `$versions` array, mapping it to a migration class. If new class exists, use that, otherwise use sle same class as previous version
+
+### Update CHANGES.md (separate commit after version bump)
+
+- [ ] Add a new `# Version X.Y.Z` section at the top of `CHANGES.md`.
+- [ ] Categorize changes under subsections: `### Notable changes`, `### Fixes`, `### Miscellaneous`
+
+## Final review
+
+- [ ] Ask user to review changes before commiting
+- [ ] Ask user to update `CHANGES.md` with PRs
+- [ ] Ask user to generate specs, if needed
+- [ ] Ask user to add request and response filters, if needed
