+Release Process
+===============
+
+During development, version/tags/etc. should reflect version "2.9.x" for example
+
+At time of release, create ONE commit with all version numbers update in files and named for example "X.X.X".
+Create a tag of the name "cracklib-X.Y.Z" pointed to that commit and produce releases at that point
+
+Before publication, you can add in NEWS for example "2.9.x" or "master" or "dev" and only when it is the commit
+for announcement, the moment to change the new version.
+
+After the release, when you add improvement in the code, "2.9.x" or "master" or "dev", do not mark with next version
+number to avoid future confusion.
