Feature Releases

• Create a named branch for each new feature release. The name is just the release number like 1.0
• Then comes some commits (out of the default branch) preparing the repository for the release.
  • Remove all unfinished stuff (e.g. from the documentation)
  • Change the release number in configure.ac
• Check the repository thoroughly
• Create the tarball.
• Tag the released version with lemon-x.y.

Bugfix Releases

• Do the bugfix on the top of the common ancestor changeset of all branches where the bug appears.
• Then merge them individually to all branches where it applies.
• A bugfix release is situated in the same branch as its mother feature release.
