How to prepare a new release
----------------------------

. include/freetype/freetype.h:  Update FREETYPE_MAJOR, FREETYPE_MINOR,
  and FREETYPE_PATCH.

. Update version numbers in all files where necessary (for example, do
  a grep for both `2.3.1' and `231' for release 2.3.1).

. builds/unix/configure.raw: Update `version_info'.

. docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release.

. README: Update.

. docs/VERSION.DLL: Document changed `version_info'.

. ChangeLog: Announce  new release  (both in  freetype2  and  ft2demos
  modules).

. Tag the CVS (freetype2, ft2demos).

  TODO: Tag the home page CVS on savannah.nongnu.org.

. Say `make  dist'  in both  the  freetype2 and  ft2demos  modules  to
  generate the .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .zip files.

. Create     the     doc    bundles    (freetype-doc-<version>.tar.gz,
  freetype-doc-<version>.tar.bz2,    ftdoc<version>.zip).    This   is
  everything below

    freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/freetype2/docs/

  except the `reference' subdirectory.   Do *not* use option `-l' from
  zip!

  Run   the   following   script    (with   updated   `$VERSION'   and
  `$SAVANNAH_USER'  variables) to sign and upload  the bundles to both
  Savannah and SourceForge.  The signing code  has been taken from the
  `gnupload' script (part of the automake bundle).

. While files on savannah.gnu.org are automatically moved to the right
  directory, it must be done manually on SourceForge.  Do that now.

. Update the FreeType release notes on SourceForge.

. Copy the reference files (generated by `make dist') to

    freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/freetype2/docs/reference

  and

    shell.sf.net:/home/groups/f/fr/freetype/htdocs/freetype2/docs/reference

  TODO: Create  FreeType  home  page  CVS  on savannah.nongnu.org  and
        update it accordingly.

        Write script to automatically do this.

        Mirror FreeType's savannah home page everywhere.

. Update

    freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/www/index2.html

  and copy it to

    shell.sf.net:/home/groups/f/fr/freetype/htdocs/index2.html

. Announce new release on freetype-announce@nongnu.org and to relevant
  newsgroups.
