Instructions for making a new release:

1) git checkout master
2) git clean -d -x -f         # I hope you've commited or stashed everything
                              # you are working on
2) git fetch
3) git rebase origin
4) make bumpver
5) git commit -a -m "New version."
6) git clean -d -x -f
7) make release

If packaging in RPM format, you might find the 'make rpmlog' target useful.
It gives you an RPM spec file formatted changelog block that contains the
git shortlog entries of all changes since the last tag.

8) git push
9) git push --tags
