OpenSCAD Release Checklist
--------------------------

o Pre-release preparations
  - Merge MCAD
    o In MCAD clone:
      $ git fetch upstream
      $ git merge upstream/master
      $ git push
    o In OpenSCAD:
      $ cd libraries/MCAD
      $ git pull
      $ cd ../..
      $ git commit -m "Updated MCAD"
      $ git push

(See bottom of this file for how to build release binaries)

o Set VERSION and VERSIONDATE environment variable
  (VERSIONDATE is new and used to identify releases. VERSION is for humans.
   For development builds, set VERSION and VERSIONDATE to the same value)

  export VERSION=2013.01
  export VERSIONDATE=2013.01.17

  It will be used by the commands below, as well as these files: 

  scripts/release-common.sh
  scripts/publish-macosx.sh
  scripts/publish-mingw-x.sh

o Update RELEASE_NOTES
o Update copyright year in AboutDialog.html and mainwin.cc

o Tag release
  git tag "openscad-$VERSION"

o build source package
  scripts/git-archive-all.py --prefix=openscad-$VERSION/ openscad-$VERSION.src.tar.gz

o Sanity check; build a binary or two and manually run some tests

o git push --tags

o Upload Source package
  $ ./scripts/googlecode_upload.py -s 'Source Code' -p openscad -l Featured,Type-Source openscad-$VERSION.src.tar.gz
  $ scp openscad-$VERSION.src.tar.gz openscad@files.openscad.org:www

o Remove VERSION environment variable
  $ unset VERSION

o Write release email/blog entry
o Update web page
  - news.html
  - inc/src_release_links.js
