#summary Release instructions
= How to make releases =
Choose a release number; see [http://www.producingoss.com/en/development-cycle.html#release-number-simple-strategy here].
If preparing for an a.b.0 release, create a [http://www.producingoss.com/en/release-branches.html release branch] called `a.b.x` (literal `x`): `svn copy -m'Creating 1.0.x release branch' https://ipaddr-py.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ https://ipaddr-py.googlecode.com/svn/branches/1.0.x`
If preparing for a micro release, first switch your client to the release branch: `svn switch https://ipaddr-py.googlecode.com/svn/branches/1.0.x` (or `svn co` to a new directory). Then [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch04s03.html merge] the changes from the trunk you want, and commit them.
== Actually making a release ==
# Update `__version__` in ipaddr.py to a string like `'1.0.0'`, and commit to the release branch.
# Tag the version: `svn copy -m'Tagging 1.0.0 release' https://ipaddr-py.googlecode.com/svn/branches/1.0.x/trunk https://ipaddr-py.googlecode.com/svn/tags/1.0.0`
# Write ReleaseNotes in the wiki.
# Prepare tarball: `./setup.py sdist`. It will appear in `./dist`.
# Create a [http://code.google.com/p/ipaddr-py/downloads/entry new download] on Google Code.
# Label the release `Featured` and remove that tag from the previous release. Files with this label will appear on the project front page in a green box.
# Make an announcement to ipaddr-py-dev@googlegroups.com and (if an a.b.0 release) to Freshmeat. Be sure to mention notable changes.
