How to prepare a new release
----------------------------
. include/freetype/freetype.h: Update `FREETYPE_MAJOR`,
`FREETYPE_MINOR`, and `FREETYPE_PATCH`.
. Update version numbers in all files where necessary (for example, do
a grep for both '2.10.4' and '2104' for release 2.10.4).
. builds/unix/configure.raw: Update `version_info`.
. docs/CHANGES: Document differences to last release.
. README: Update.
. docs/VERSIONS.TXT: Document changed `version_info`.
. Clone the git archive to another directory with
git clone -l -s . ../freetype.test
or something like this and run
make distclean; make devel; make
make distclean; make devel; make multi
make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make CC=g++
make distclean; make devel CC=g++; make multi CC=g++
sh autogen.sh
make distclean; ./configure CC=g++; make
in the cloned repository to test compilation with both gcc and g++.
Note that it is normally not necessary to test standard C
compilation with the `configure`, `meson`, and `cmake` build tools
since this is done by the CI process of 'gitlab.freetype.org' for
every commit.
. Test C++ compilation for 'freetype-demos' too (using `git clone` as
above).
. Run `src/tools/chktrcmp.py` and check that there are no undefined
`trace_XXXX` macros.
. After pushing the new release, tag the git repositories ('freetype',
'freetype-demos') with
git tag VER-<version> -m "" -u <committer>
and push the tags with
git push --tags
. Check with
git clean -ndx
that the git directory is really clean (and remove extraneous files
if necessary).
. Say `make dist` in both the 'freetype' and 'freetype-demos'
repositories to generate the `.tar.gz`, `.tar.xz`, and `.zip` files.
. Create the doc bundles (`freetype-doc-<version>.tar.gz`,
`freetype-doc-<version>.tar.xz`, `ftdoc<version>.zip`). This is
everything in
<freetype-web git repository>/freetype2/docs
except the `reference` subdirectory. Do *not* use option `-l` from
zip!
. Run the following script (with updated `$VERSION`, `$SAVANNAH_USER`,
and `$SOURCEFORGE_USER` variables) to sign and upload the bundles to
both Savannah and SourceForge. The signing code has been taken from
the `gnupload` script (part of the 'automake' bundle).

. On SourceForge, tag the just uploaded `ftXXX.zip` and
`freetype-XXX.tar.xz` files as the default files to download for
'Windows' and 'Others', respectively.
. Trigger the automatic generation of the online API reference by
updating the `FT_VERSION` variable in file `.gitlab-ci.yml` of the
'freetype-web' repository.
. Announce new release on 'freetype-announce@nongnu.org' and to
relevant newsgroups. The text should include
- SHA256 checksums of all files,
- instructions how to verify the bundles using the `.sig` file data,
- the PGP public key used to sign the archives.
