-                  Working with the the wxWidgets release system
-                    =====================================
+                        Making a new wxWidgets release
+                        ==============================
 
-Process Overview:
-- run build/tools/create-archive.py --compression=all /path/to/output/dir
-- upload release to sf.net
-- update wxwidgets.org
-- promote release on software download sites
+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 be run either on Unix or using Cygwin on Windows. To generate a release, simply run the following command:
+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
+be run either on Unix or using Cygwin on Windows. To generate a release, simply
+run the following command:
 
 build/tools/create-archive.py --compression=all /path/to/output/dir
 
-This will produce zip, gzip and bzip archives of the tree. 
+This will produce zip, gzip and bzip archives of the tree (without
+"compression" argument only .gz is made). Note that this commands produces huge
+amounts of output so redirecting it to a file is recommended.
+
+To add a prefix to the release, such as RC1, the SVN revision, or a date, just
+pass --postfix="postfix" to the script. More info on the options and their
+possible values can be found by calling `create-archive.py --help`.
+
+IMPORTANT NOTE: You *must* run this script from a clean source tree, that is,
+          with no junk files in it or modifications. This is because the
+          release should be a pristine copy of the tree as of the time of
+          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
+---------------

This is because the release should be a pristine copy of the tree as of the time of release. If you have legitimate modifications in the tree that need to be in the release, commit them first.
+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).
