First make sure you git-commit-ed the ChangeLog all the version release related changes, then:
- git tag -a -m "VLC Release RELEASE_VERSION" <RELEASE_VERSION>
+ git tag -a -m "VLC Release VERSION" <VERSION>
(Create an annotated tag, you can skip -a if you used -m)
- git push origin <RELEASE_VERSION>
+ git push origin <VERSION>
(You are advised to play with it on the sandrox.git if you feel unconfortable)
* Announce email
- write something along the lines of previous releases
- post in videolan-announce (moderated), vlc et vlc-devel
+ You are advised to add the author list for this version 'git shortlog -s PREVIOUS_VERSION..VERSION'
+ And to add git diff --stat PREVIOUS_VERSION..VERSION if it's relevant.
+ You can play a bit with git to show the piece of information that may be interesting.
- add a sticky thread in the "General VLC media player discussion" forum
