   1. Bump version in Cargo.toml to 1.0.0

2. How to build Sonic, package it and release it on Crates, GitHub, Docker Hub and Packagecloud (multiple architectures):

   1. Tag the latest Git commit corresponding to the release with tag v1.0.0, and push the tag
   2. Wait for all release jobs to complete on the actions page on GitHub
   3. Download all release archives, and sign them locally using: ./scripts/sign_binaries.sh --version=1.0.0
   4. Publish a changelog and upload all the built archives, as well as their signatures on the releases page on GitHub
