# Making a release
## Rebuild generated files and documentation
The documentation and some generated files can be rebuilt by running
make -C doc rebuild
This requires `xsltproc` to be installed.
## Update the NEWS file
You can get started by running
git log --format='- %s (%an)' [previous-release-tag]..
## Bump the version number
Edit the version number in `configure.ac` if you haven't done so already.
## Build the tarball
I'd recommend to build the tarball by running
make distcheck
which performs some useful checks as well.
## Upload the tarball
Follow the instructions at
<https://wiki.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/Releasing>:
scp libxml2-[version].tar.xz master.gnome.org:
ssh master.gnome.org ftpadmin install libxml2-[version].tar.xz
## Tag the release
Create an annotated tag and push it:
git tag -a [version] -m 'Release [version]'
git push origin [version]
## Create a GitLab release
Create a new GitLab release on
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases>.
## Announce the release
Announce the release by sending an email to the mailing list at
xml@gnome.org.
