== Release numbering ==

 1.x::
    Feature release.
 1.0.x::
    Bugfix release.

== Feature Releases ==

 - Create a named branch for each new feature release. The name is just the release number like '''1.0''' 
 - Then comes some commits (out of the default branch) preparing the repository for the release.
   - Remove all unfinished stuff (e.g. from the documentation)
   - Change the release number in {{{configure.ac}}}
 - Check the repository thoroughly
 - Create the tarball.
 - Tag the released version with '''lemon-x.y'''.

== Bugfix Releases ==
 
 - Do the bugfix on the top of the common ancestor changeset of all branches where the bug appears.
 - Then merge them individually to all branches where it applies.
 - A bugfix release is situated in the same branch as its mother feature release.
