RELEASING revision 14b11b2b 
1Here are the steps to follow to create a new pixman release:
2
31) Ensure that there are no uncommitted changes or unpushed commits,
4   and that you are up to date with the latest commits in the central
5   repository. Here are a couple of useful commands:
6
7	git diff			(no output)
8	
9	git status			(should report "nothing to commit")
10
11	git log master...origin		(no output; note: *3* dots)
12
132) Increment the version in meson.build.
14
153) Make sure that new version works, including
16
17	- meson test passes
18
19	- the X server still works with the new pixman version
20	  installed
21
22	- the cairo test suite hasn't gained any new failures compared
23	  to last pixman version.
24
254) Use "git commit" to record the changes made in step 2 and 3.
26
275) Generate and publish the tar files by running 
28
29	make PREV=<last version> GPGKEY=<your gpg key id> release-publish
30
31   If your freedesktop user name is different from your local one,
32   then also set the variable USER to your freedesktop user name.
33
346) Run 
35
36	make release-publish-message
37
38   to generate a draft release announcement. Edit it as appropriate and
39   send it to 
40
41	cairo-announce@cairographics.org
42
43	pixman@lists.freedesktop.org
44
45	xorg-announce@lists.freedesktop.org
46
477) Increment pixman_micro to the next larger (odd) number in
48   configure.ac. Commit this change, and push all commits created
49   during this process using
50
51	git push
52	git push --tags
53
54   You must use "--tags" here; otherwise the new tag will not
55   be pushed out.
56
578) Change the topic of the #cairo IRC channel on freenode to advertise
58   the new version.
