Here are the steps to follow to create a new release (version) of BLIS:

1. Make sure there are no commits that have yet to be pulled into

local repository.

$ git pull

If there are any commits upstream, merge them as appropriate.

2. Verify that the code builds properly.

$ ./configure auto; make

3. Verify that the code passes BLIS and BLAS tests:

$ make check # BLIS testsuite (fast) + BLAS test drivers

$ make checkblis # BLIS testsuite (full ex. mixed-datatype)

$ make checkblis-md # BLIS testsuite (mixed-datatype only)

$ make checkblis-salt # BLIS testsuite (fast + salt)

4. Draft a new announcement to blis-devel, crediting those who

contributed towards this version by browsing 'git log'.

5. Update CREDITS file if 'git log' reveals any new contributors.

6. Update docs/ReleaseNotes.md file with body of finalized announcement

and the date of the release.

7. Commit changes from steps 5 and 6.

8. Bump the version number:

$ ./build/bump-version.sh "0.3.2"

This will result in two new commits: a version file update and a CHANGELOG

file update.

9. Push the new commits and new tag associated with the new version:

$ git push

$ git push --tag

10. Send finalized announcement to blis-devel.
