+How to release a new version of SemanticScuttle
+===============================================
+
+0. Run unit tests and verify that all of them pass
+1. Update ``doc/ChangeLog``
+2. Update ``doc/UPGRADE.txt``
+3. Update version in ``data/templates/default/about.tpl.php``,
+ ``build.xml`` and ``doc/README.rst``
+4. Create a release zip file via the build script:
+ Just type "``phing``".
+5. Make a test installation from your zip file with a fresh
+ database. Register a user, add bookmarks etc.
+6. When all is fine, it's time to release.
+ The build script takes care for most of the
+ tasks.
+ Run "``phing release``", and it will upload the release to
+ sourceforge.
+7. Create a git tag and push it
+8. Create the PEAR package and test it:
+ Run ``phing package``, then
+ ``pear upgrade dist/pear/SemanticScuttle-0.xx.tgz``
+9. Publish the PEAR package: ``phing deploy-sf-pear``
+10. Publish the documentation: ``phing deploy-docs``
+11. Write announcement mail to the SemanticScuttle mailing list
+ semanticscuttle-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+12. Announce the new release in the sourceforge project news
+ https://sourceforge.net/news/submit.php?group_id=211356
