Preparing a libgeotiff Release
==============================
1) Update the VERSION_MAJOR/MINOR/POINT information in configure.in.
2) Update the LIBGEOTIFF_VERSION macro in geotiff.h.
3) Add a note to the ChangeLog that a new release is being issued, and what
the release number is.
4) Tag the release with a command like "cvs tag libgeotiff_1_1_4" from the
libgeotiff directory.
5) Prepare a zip and tar.gz file using a command like "mkdist.sh 1.1.5"
from within the geotiff/libgeotiff directory.
6) Test build and install on at least one Unix platform. Test build on a
Windows system.
7) The resulting files (eg. libgeotiff-1.1.5.tar.gz and libgeotiff115.zip)
should be copied to the distribution directory (geotiff/libgeotiff on
ftp.remotesensing.org). Update the README file in that directory to
indicate the new current release.
8) Build binary distributions of libgeotiff, and utilities for various
Unix platforms (usually Linux, Solaris and IRIX). This can be accomplished
using a command like "mkbindist.sh 1.1.5 linux -install". The -install
option only works if you have scp locally, and a matching account on
remotesensing.org.
9) Build binary distribution for Windows. Normally prepared by downloading
the last distribution, and overlaying the most recent .exe files, and
csv files over the ones from the last distribution, and renaming things
based on the version number.
10) Announce on GeoTIFF mailing list: geotiff@lists.maptools.org
Include a summary of the ChangeLog items for the most recent release.
11) Update entry at http://www.freshmeat.net/projects/libgeotiff
12) Update html/geotiff.html to point to most recent release, including
the most recent release version number.
