Release procedure

1. Select a version of the form XX.YY.

2. Branch a branch in git

   git checkout -b branch-XX.YY
   

3. Update version in relevant files on the branch:

   • Makefile
   • haskell-mode.el
   • haskell-mode.texi
   • haskell-mode-pkg.el

   git commit -a -m "Update version info XX.YY"
   

4. Tag the new version (use annotated tag):

   git tag -a vXX.YY
   

5. Push to github creating a branch there:

   git push --follow-tags haskell HEAD:branch-XX.YY
   

6. Should there be needed fixups post-release then do edits on branch, tag new version on branch in the form of vXX.YY.1, vXX.YY.2, etc.

7. Switch back to master and update version there. Use XX.(XX+1)-git as version string (Emacs recognizes -git as -4, clever).

Melpa-stable will pick up latest tag and create an elisp package out of what it finds in git.

Note: cannot have versions as variable as that will not be picked by Melpa. Sorry.
