# Release checklist
When changing the version, run `build-scripts/update-version.sh X Y Z`,
where `X Y Z` are the major version, minor version, and patch level. So
`2 28 1` means "change the version to 2.28.1". This script does much of the
mechanical work.
## New feature release
* Update `WhatsNew.txt`
* Bump version number to 2.EVEN.0:
* `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 2 EVEN 0`
* Do the release
* Update the website file include/header.inc.php to reflect the new version
## New bugfix release
* Check that no new API/ABI was added
* If it was, do a new feature release (see above) instead
* Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is even)
* `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 2 Y Z+1`
* Do the release
* Update the website file include/header.inc.php to reflect the new version
## After a feature release
* Create a branch like `release-2.24.x`
* Bump version number to 2.ODD.0 for next development branch
* `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 2 ODD 0`
## New development prerelease
* Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is odd)
* `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 2 Y Z+1`
* Do the release
