 * Post the release message to the relax-announce mailing list, as a news 
item on the relax Gna! website, and on the freshmeat website.
+
+On the relax-announce mailing list, write a detailed and full description of 
the release.  Also add a paragraph with links for downloading the release.  
At the end, add a section titled 'The full list of changes is:' and cut and 
paste the part of the CHANGES file for this release.
+
+For the news item, firstly cut and paste the mailing list message.  Item 
references such as bug #7641, task #3122, etc. are automatically converted 
into links.  However, this won't happen if it is enclosed in brackets such as 
(bug #7641).  This can be fixed by using for example (see bug #7641).  Create 
three sections using the Savane markup (recipe #236).  Call these = 
Description =, = Download =, and = Full list of changes =.  For the last 
section, use the subtitles == Features == ,  == Changes == , and  == Bugfixes 
==.  The items in this section start with '* ' to create an unnumbered list.  
Strip all leading whitespace from the full list of changes.
+
+For freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net), go to the nmr-relax project page at 
http://freshmeat.net/projects/nmr-relax.  Click on 'add release' in the 
project menu.  If this is the first release of a new minor number 'x.x.0', a 
branch will need to be created first by clicking on 'add branch'.  Add the 
version number, a brief and concise summary of the release, select the 
release focus category, and update the Tar/BZ2 and Zip URLs.
