Preparation

  1. Check todo lists and bug trackers.
  2. Update Template:ZNC-Versions.
  3. Prepare ChangeLog/git, let everyone check it.
  4. Move ChangeLog/git and create that page again.

To release RC1

  1. Update version number in CMakeLists.txt, include/znc/version.h and configure.ac, make a new branch 1.7.1 from 1.7.x, commit with message ZNC 1.7.1-rc1. (probably version.h should mention -rc1 in VERSION_STR?)
  2. Modify make-tarball.sh to have DESC="-rc1" (TODO: figure it out automatically), run ./make-tarball.sh 1.7.1-rc1 without commiting that change.
  3. Test the tarball, publish it.
  4. Tag the last commit with znc-1.7.1-rc1 (but without annotated tag), push commit and tag to github.
  5. Set Template:ZNC-Version-Alpha to 1.7.1-rc1
