+Release Method
+==============
+
+As of 2.0, the release process is much simpler.  Edit the
+Changelog with the version number and any last updates.
+
+vi doc/ChangeLog
+git commit doc/ChangeLog
+
+
+	Change version numbers in the VERSION file:
+
+vi VERSION
+git commit VERSION
+
+
+	Make the files
+
+	Note that it also does "make dist-check", which checks
+	the build rules for various packages.
+
+make dist
+
+
+	Validate that the packages are OK.  If so, tag the release.
+
+	Note that this does NOT actually do the tagging!  You will
+	have to run the command it prints out yourself.
+
+make dist-tag
+
+
+	Sign the packages.  You will need the correct GPG key for this
+	to work.
+
+make dist-sign
+
+
+	Push to the FTP site.  You will need write access to the FTP site
+	for this to work.
+
+make dist-publish
