+4) Upgrade the version in the file "version"
+
+ The scheme for the release number is as follows:
+
+ A major milestone in usability causes an increase in the major
+ number, yielding a two-component version with a minor number
+ of 0, (such as "1.0" or "2.0").
+
+ Otherwise, releases with changes in features cause an increase
+ in the minor number, yielding a two-component version, (such
+ as "1.1" or "1.2").
+
+ Finally, releases that do not change "features" but are merely
+ bug fixes either increase the micro number or add it (starting
+ at ".1" if not present). So a bug-fix release from "1.0" would
+ be "1.0.1" and a subsequent bug-fix release would be "1.0.2"
+ etc.
+
+ When you are happy with the file 'version', run
+
+ make update-versions
+
+ to propagate the version to the other places needed.
+
+ Commit these changes.
+
+5) Create an entry for the new release in debian/changelog
