Notes to myself on all the steps to make for a Ninja release. Push new release branch: 1. update src/version.cc with new version (with ".git") 2. git checkout release; git merge master 3. fix version number in src/version.cc (it will likely conflict in the above) 4. fix version in doc/manual.asciidoc 5. commit, tag, push (don't forget to push --tags) 6. construct release notes from prior notes credits: git shortlog -s --no-merges REV.. Release on github: 1. (haven't tried this yet) https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software Make announcement on mailing list: 1. copy old mail Update website: (note to self: website is now in github.com/martine/martine.github.io) 1. rebuild manual, put in place on website 2. update home page mention of latest version.
