+Releasing
+=========
+
+- Make sure you release the Python library first if there are any updates
+
+- Update ``script/bootstrap/ci-requirements.txt`` to use released version at PyPI
+  (i.e. the requirement should be ``openxc==<latestversion>``)
+
+- Bump the version using `semantic versioning`_ in
+  - ``CHANGELOG.mkd``
+  - ``README.mkd``
+  - ``src/config.cpp``
+  - ``docs/index.rst``
+  - ``docs/conf.py``
+
+- Checkout master, merge in next
+
+- Run 'fab release', say yes to the tag and use the format ``v0.9.1``
+
+  - This will run the test suite, tag, and push to GitHub
+
+- Checkout the next branch, and edit the same files to change the version to the
+  next development release (one patch release up with the ``-dev`` suffix, e.g.
+  ``v0.9.2-dev``
+
+- Also change ``script/pip-requirements.txt`` back to using the development
+  version from Git: ``-e git+https://github.com/openxc/openxc-python.git@next#egg=openxc``
+
+- Go to https://github.com/openxc/vi-firmware/releases and promote the tag you
+  just created to a new release - copy and paste the changelog into the
+  description.
+
+  - Attach the ``openxc-vi-firmware-*.zip`` from the ``releases`` directory to
+    the release on GitHub
+
+.. _`semantic versioning`: http://semver.org
