= Release Checklist =

Here are some tips for planning and making new releases:

  * Take a screenshot of the new version
    * Use it in Release Notes
    * Use it in distribution channels
  * Write a paragraph that sums up the most important changes
    * Use it in Release Notes
    * Use it in distribution channels
  * Make the Release Notes readable by humans, consider including figures, code snippets

Here is the list of channels that we usually use to spread the word after a fresh release:

  * HelenOS homepage
  * The topic of the #helenos channel at irc.freenode.org
  * helenos-devel@lists.modry.cz
