3. Create html/vX.X.html. Take ChangeLog entries and html-ify in there.
|
|

Easist thing to do is take html/vX.(X-1).html and use it as a template.
|
|
12 |
Add that file to the list of EXTRA_DIST files in the html/Makefile.am.
|
|
13 |
|

4. Increment version in configure.ac. Put 'alpha' or 'beta' after
|
|
17 |
the version, if applicable.
|
|
18 |
|
|
19 |
eg.
|
|
20 |
3.5.7
|
|
21 |
or
|
|

|
|
32 |
level dir, and libtiff/tiffvers.h.
|
|
