Comment the "found_debug=yes" line in configure.ac, since releases + don't have debugging enabled, otherwise make(1) aborts when + preparing the distribution. + +2. Update and commit NOTES and CHANGES. The former should be checked for + anything outdated and updated with a list of things that might break + upgrades and the latter should mention all the major changes since + the last version. + +3. Tag with: + + % git tag -a 1.X + + Where "1.X" is the next version. + + Push the tag out with: + + % git push --tags + +4. Build the tarball with make dist. Now that it's using autoconf there + shouldn't be any weird files (such as the original and rejection files + from patch(1)) but it doesn't hurt taking a quick look at it. + +5. Split the release changes into a new file. This should be named + tmux-$VERSION-readme to make sourceforge show it automagically in specific + parts of the project page. + +6. Upload the tarball and the above file. Make the tarball the default + download by selecting all operating systems under the file details. + +7.
