 # Making a release
 
-To make a release you'll need to be a maintainer with GitHub
-permissions to push to the master and gh-pages branches, and
-Sonatype permissions to publish.
-
-Here are the steps, which should be automated but aren't (PR
-welcome!):
-
-  1. write release notes in NEWS.md following the format
-     already in there. update README with the new version.
-     Commit.
-  2. create a signed git tag "vX.Y.Z"
-  3. start sbt; `show version` should confirm that the version was
-     taken from the tag
-  4. clean
-  5. test (double check that release works)
-  6. doc (double check that docs build, plus build docs
-     to be copied to gh-pages later)
-  7. if test or doc fails, delete the tag, fix it, start over.
-  8. publishSigned
-  9. make a separate clone of the repo in another directory and
-      check out the gh-pages branch
-  10. /bin/rm -rf latest/api on gh-pages checkout
-  11. copy config/target/api from master checkout to vX.Y.Z in
-      gh-pages so you have vX.Y.Z/index.html
-  12. copy config/target/api from master checkout into latest/
-      so you have latest/api/index.html
-  13. commit all that to gh-pages, check the diff for sanity
-      (latest/api should be mostly just changed timestamps)
-  14. push gh-pages
-  15. log into sonatype website and go through the usual hoops
-      (under Staging Repositories, search for com.typesafe, verify the
-      artifacts in it, close, release)
-  16. push the "vX.Y.Z" tag
-  17. announce release, possibly wait for maven central to sync
-      first
