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) Add a note to the ChangeLog that a new release is being issued, and what
    the release number is.

 6) Commit the above changes.

 7) Tag the release set in SVN (for now we aren't using branches in libgeotiff)

    svn copy https://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/geotiff/trunk/libgeotiff \
             https://svn.osgeo.org/metacrs/geotiff/tags/libgeotiff-1.4.0

 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.maptools.org
     Include a summary of the ChangeLog items for the most recent release.

 12) 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.
