  1. Tea
  2. Pull and update
  3. Run:
    ./tools/generateTranslationDiffs
    Perform final language file updates.
  4. Run:
    dos2unix rtdata/languages/* rtdata/profiles/*
  5. Once RELEASE_NOTES.txt, language files, profiles, AppData, a new splash screen, etc. are ready, commit to new branch:
    git checkout -b release-5.8 && git commit -a -m "Preparing for release 5.8-rc1" && git push
  6. Once others have revised the changes, merge this "release-5.8" branch into "releases":
    git checkout releases
    git pull
    git merge release-5.8
  7. Tag:
    git tag -a "5.8-rc1" -m "Tagged RawTherapee 5.8-rc1"
    git push origin "5.8-rc1"
    and push
    git push
  8. Make a source tarball and upload it to the website:
    ./tools/generateSourceTarball
    sha1sum rawtherapee-5.8-rc1.tar.xz > rawtherapee-5.8-rc1.tar.xz.sha1
  9. When ready for a final release (5.8, not 5.8-rc1), do as above, merge release-5.8 into releases, tag and deleted release-5.8. Never delete branch releases.
