+Creating release files
+----------------------
 
 Currently our release system uses a Python 2.x script to generate releases.
 The script requires Unix utilities such as tar, zip and unix2dos and thus must

           release. If you have legitimate modifications in the tree that need
           to be in the release, commit them first.

+Also run doxygen to create HTML documentation and pack it in .tar.bz2 and .zip
+formats.
+
+
+Uploading
+---------
+
+Upload the files to SourceForge (the simplest is to scp them to
+sfusername,wxwindows@frs.sf.net:/home/frs/project/w/wx/wxwindows/x.y.z) and to
+ftp.wxwidgets.org (ask Chris to do it).
+
+Create http://docs.wxwidgets.org/x.y.z/ (ask Bryan to do it).
+
+
+Announcement
+------------
+
+Post announcement at least to wx-announce@googlegroups.com.
+
+TODO: where else to announce it?
+
+Update www.wxwidgets.org, usually a news item is enough but something more can
+be called for for major releases.
+
+Post to wxBlog if necessary.
+
+
+Version updates
+---------------
+
+Trac: mark the milestone corresponding to the release as completed and add a
+new version for it to allow reporting bugs against it (ask Vadim or Robin to do
+it).
+
+Run misc/scripts/inc_release to increment micro version, i.e. replace x.y.z
+with x.y.z+1 (minor or major versions updates require manual intervention).
