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 '2.10.4' and '2104' for release 2.10.4).

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

. docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release.

. README: Update.

. docs/VERSIONS.TXT: Document changed `version_info`.

. Clone the git archive to another directory with

    git clone -l -s . ../freetype.test

  or something like this and run

    make distclean; make devel; make
    make distclean; make devel; make multi
    make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make CC=g++
    make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make multi CC=g++

    sh autogen.sh
    make distclean; ./configure; make
    make distclean; ./configure CC=g++; make

  in the cloned repository to test compilation with both gcc and g++.

. Test C++ compilation for 'freetype-demos' too (using `git clone` as
  above).

. Run `src/tools/chktrcmp.py` and check that there are no undefined
  `trace_XXXX` macros.

. After pushing the new release, tag the git repositories ('freetype',
  'freetype-demos') with

    git tag VER-<version> -m "" -u <committer>

  and push the tags with

    git push --tags

. Check with

    git clean -ndx

  that the git directory is really clean (and remove extraneous files
  if necessary).

. Say `make dist` in both the 'freetype' and 'freetype-demos'
  repositories to generate the `.tar.gz`, `.tar.xz`, and `.zip` files.

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

    <freetype-web git repository>/freetype2/docs

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

. Run the following script (with updated `$VERSION`, `$SAVANNAH_USER`,
  and `$SOURCEFORGE_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).
