 git checkout release/1.22

+In addition to the new build to be released you will need the previous stable build so that the smoketest can test the data migration. 
+The recommended way to make these builds available for the smoketest is by downloading their archive version (\*.zip) and extracting 
+them into two folders. Pass the folder paths to the smoketest as follows:
+
+```bash
+yarn smoketest --build PATH_TO_NEW_RELEASE_PARENT_FOLDER --stable-build PATH_TO_LAST_STABLE_RELEASE_PARENT_FOLDER
