	Preparing a libgeotiff Release
	==============================

 1) Update the VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/POINT information in configure.ac, and
    run autogen.sh

 2) Update the LIBGEOTIFF_VERSION macro in geotiff.h.

 3) Update -version-info CURRENT/REVISION/AGE values in Makefile.am
   - For a release with no interface changes just bump REVISION.
   - Adding interfaces, bump CURRENT/AGE, set REVISION to 0.
   - Deleting interfaces / compatibility issues - bump CURRENT, others to zero.

 4) Update GeoTIFF_VERSION and SO_VERSION in CMakeLists.txt

 5) Update NEWS

 6) Commit the above changes.

 7) Tag the release

    git tag -a -m "Create tag x.y.z" x.y.z

 8) Prepare a zip and tar.gz file using a command like:

    make dist

 9) Test build and install on at least one Unix platform.  Test build on a
    Windows system.

 10) The resulting files (eg. libgeotiff-1.1.5.tar.gz and libgeotiff-1.1.5.zip)
     should be copied to the distribution directory (geotiff/libgeotiff on
     upload.osgeo.org).  Update the README file in that directory to
     indicate the new current release.

    scp libgeotiff-1.1.5.{tar.gz,zip} warmerdam@upload.osgeo.org:/osgeo/download/geotiff/libgeotiff

 11) Announce on GeoTIFF mailing list: geotiff@lists.osgeo.org
     Include a summary of the ChangeLog items for the most recent release.

 12) [outdated ?] Update entry at http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/libgeotiff

 13) Update http://geotiff.osgeo.org/ trac wiki page to point to most recent
     release, including the most recent release version number.
