  • docs/release 
  • How to prepare a new release
----------------------------

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

.  builds/unix/configure.ac (version_info):  Update  according to  the
  libtool  rules,  then  regenerate  the  configure  script  with  the
  top-level  `autogen.sh'.   After  that,  update  `config.guess'  and
  `config.sub'  to the  most recent  versions (from  the  `config' CVS
  repository).

  Assure that  the most  recent versions of  autoconf and  libtool are
  used while calling `autogen.sh'.

. builds/freetype.mk (refdoc): Update the `--title' option.

. docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release.

. README: Update.

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

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

. Call  `make   refdoc'  to  update   HTML  reference.   Copy   it  to
  freetype.freedesktop.org:/srv/freetype.freedesktop.org/\
  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.

. Tag the CVS (freetype2, ft2demos).

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

. Create packages for  freetype2, ft2demos, and documentation (in zip,
  .tar.gz, and .tar.bz2 format).

  Assure that the  .zip file uses CR/LF at line ends  -- but *not* for
  images!

  TODO: Write scripts and/or provide make targets to do that.

. Create  signature files with `gpg  -b' and upload  files to savannah
  and sourceforge.

  TODO: Write script to do this.  Cf. automake's `gnupload' script.

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