Release process
===============
1. Check CI (http://build.nanomsg.org/waterfall).
2. Check AppVeyor https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gdamore/nanomsg
3. Check Travis CI https://travis-ci.org/nanomsg/nanomsg
4. "make distcheck" to check whether the packaging process still works.
5. Bump ABI version as appropriate (see the docs on versioning). This happens
in src/nn.h, check links there on which numbers to update.
6. Commit and push back to the public repo.
7. Tag the new version, e.g. git tag -a 0.3-beta. (Make sure to use -a
to create an annotated tag.)
8. Push the tag to the repo, e.g. git push origin 0.3-beta.
9. Wait a little bit for Travis CI to build, and create artifacts.
(Travis does this automatically for tagged releases.)
10. Check the github releases page - a release for the tag should have
already been created with artifacts ready to download.
11. Upload the "download" page on the website (see gh-pages branch of the
repo). The only thing that needs to be updated is the LATEST RELEASE
number and date.
12. Generate the docs (./configure --enable-doc; make).
13. In online docs (gh-pages) make a new folder (e.g. v0.3) and copy the HTML
docs there.
14. Link the docs from "documentation.html" page.
15. Send the announcement about the release. These commands might be useful:
git log --oneline 0.2-alpha..0.3-beta | wc -l
git diff -U0 0.2-alpha..0.3-beta AUTHORS
16. Update the topic in the chatroom accordingly.
