Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history

website and elsewhere, no need for the redundant data in the
announcement too.

cairo@cairographics.org, gnome-announce-list@gnome.org and
ftp-release@lists.freedesktop.org (pr@lwn.net as well for major
releases) to announce the new release using the text provided from
"make release-publish", adding the excerpt from NEWS, your
signature, followed by the standard "What is cairo" and "Where to
get more information about cairo" blurbs from README, and finally
"make release-publish", adding the excerpt from NEWS and
the shortlog of all changes since last release, generated by:

git shortlog ${LAST_RELEASE}...

11) Add the announcement to the NEWS page and the front page.

(just the parts before your signature).
