merging the tagged release into the branch to achieve this, as this will include
the release commit, which may pin Composer dependencies to specific versions.
#### Updating Composer requirements in minor releases
We keep core modules in lockstep at the minor level - that is, we can release
patches (e.g. 4.5.x) for individual modules, but when we perform a minor release
(4.x.0), we ship that version of every core module. To this end, the Composer
dependencies of each module need to be manually adjusted when we perform a minor
release - for example, the `cms` module version `4.6.0` must include a minimum
requirement of `framework` `^4.6`. This ensures that language level requirements
(e.g. minimum PHP versions) can be safely centralised in the framework module
for surrounding core modules to inherit. In short, ensure you commit updates to
the Composer requirements of every core module after each minor branch is
created, and before you ship the release.
#### Testing the release
Once the release task has completed, it may be ideal to manually test the site out
