1 Here are the steps to follow to create a new pixman release:
3 1) 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:
9 git status (should report "nothing to commit")

37 make release-publish-message

49 configure.ac. Commit this change, and push all commits created
50 during this process using
