THINGS TO DO TO RELEASE IT SMOOTHLY...


---------- SECTION 1: Preparation ----------------------------------------------

* Update CHANGELOG file (or just check it!!!)
* Update INSTALL file (usually just new dependencies)
* Update src/main.cpp. Check AUTHORS and CREDITS
* Bump Version Number (in the CMakeLists.txt file)
* Commit the source to GIT and ccmail: rekonq@kde.org,kde-i18n-doc@kde.org
* tag it : git tag -s $VERSION


---------- SECTION 2: Creating and Testing the Tarball -------------------------

* Use releaseme script to create the tarball:
  - if you need download it somewhere: git clone kde:releaseme
  - update rekonqrc file with choices and version number
  - launch ./rekonqrb script

( to fast create a tarball, do:
$ git archive --prefix=rekonq-$VERSION/ $VERSION | bzip2 > /home/adjam/rekonq-$VERSION.tar.bz2
)

* Test package with current KDE version
* Test package with docs AND translations added
* Test it resetting rekonq files in ~/.kde4 (or in your local environment)


---------- SECTION 3: The Release Day ------------------------------------------

* Add new version to Bugzilla
* Push tarball to sf repository
* Update rekonq site: http://rekonq.kde.org
* Update kde-apps.org
* Update IRC channel topic
* Blog about!
