0. Run full test suite in all branches and in master. Continue if all

tests passed.

1. If release branch is not master - run devscripts/prerelease $NEW_TAG; if

it's master - run devscripts/prerelease $NEW_TAG master.

The script checks out the release branch and calls editor; if it's the

first stable release of the branch - edit build-all-docs, advance stable

branch; if it is a stable release - edit docs/News.rst to set release

date; update version, the list of contributors, the list of changes and

download URL in ANNOUNCE.rst; edit __version__.py and README.rst in the

release branch - fix versions. Edit section [egg_info] in setup.cfg -

set if it is a stable or development release. In setup.py edit

"Development Status" in trove classifiers; edit download URLs: if a

non-stable version - append 'dev' and date stamp, for a stable version

remove 'dev' and date stamp). Commit. Verify.

2. If it's not master - null-merge to the next higher branch.

3. If release branch is not master - run devscripts/prerelease-tag

$NEW_TAG; if it's master - run devscripts/prerelease-tag $NEW_TAG

master. This checks out the release branch and creates the new tag at

the head of the release branch.

4. Run devscripts/release. This generates and uploads new archives to PyPI

and if it is a stable release - uploads archives and release

announcement (ANNOUNCE.rst) to SourceForge. Move old releases at

SourceForge to subdirectory OldFiles.

5. Run devscripts/postrelease. The script restores ANNOUNCE.rst and

setup.cfg from the previous commit (HEAD~). It calls editor; update next

version, remove the list of contributors and the list of changes, edit

download URL in ANNOUNCE.rst. Edit README.rst and docs/News.rst - add

new version.

6. Run devscripts/push-all in the development repository to push all

branches and tags to the public repositories.

7. Generate new docs using devscripts/build-all-docs. Upload docs using

devscripts/publish-docs.

8. Send announcement to the SQLObject mailing list. For a stable

release send announcements to python, python-announce and python-db

mailing lists.

9. Announce new release(s) at Twitter (https://twitter.com/SQLObject) and

Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQLObject). If it is a stable

release - announce it at

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_object-relational_mapping_software.
