1 Notes to myself on all the steps to make for a Ninja release.
3 Push new release branch:
4 1. Consider sending a heads-up to the ninja-build mailing list first
5 2. update src/version.cc with new version (with ".git"), then
6 git commit -a -m 'mark this 1.5.0.git'
7 3. git checkout release; git merge master
8 4. fix version number in src/version.cc (it will likely conflict in the above)
9 5. fix version in doc/manual.asciidoc
10 6. commit, tag, push (don't forget to push --tags)
11 git commit -a -m v1.5.0
15 git push origin master # Push the 1.5.0.git change on master too
16 7. construct release notes from prior notes
