                         Making a new wxWidgets release
                         ==============================
 
+Before making the release
+-------------------------
+
+Update docs/readme.txt. Please review its contents in addition to just
+changing the version number.

 Creating release files

           release. If you have legitimate modifications in the tree that need
           to be in the release, commit them first.
 
+To generate the windows installer (.exe) and the documentation files (chm and htb formats)

+build\tools\bld_chm_exe.bat

+which depends on the wxwidgets.iss file, and generates output in the %DAILY% directory. It 
+assumes a clean copy of the wxWidgets source tree in %INNO%. Temporary files will be generated 
+in the tree from which the batch file is run. It depends on doxygen, a number of gnu
+win32 tools and Microsofts htmlhelp compiler. The wxwidgets.iss file should not need 
+editing, but you will want to check that the bld_chm_exe.bat has the correct version number.
+

+
+Alternative non official release scripts
+----------------------------------------
+
+If you use git-svn, then you can use alternative script that avoids the
+problems such as using non-clean tree and also has better handling of the ends
+of lines conversions. To use it you need to run
+
+- build/tools/svn-find-native-eols.pl
+- build/tools/git-make-release
+- build/tools/make-html-docs
 
-Also run doxygen to create HTML documentation and pack it in .tar.bz2 and .zip
-formats.
