- [ ] This release was tested using a Docker environment.
- [ ] This release was tested with local storage for file distribution.
- [ ] this release was tested with remote S3 storage for file distribution.

- [ ] Upgrade instructions were written for migrating from the previous release.
- [ ] The API spec `openapi.yaml` is up to date, and the current version of the release is specified in the file.
- [ ] The API documentation was copied to the public documentation site under `/api/0.0.x` and `/api/latest`.
