The actual release process quite diverged from what was written here,
also clarify things a bit.

### Bitcoin maintainers/release engineers, update version in sources
Update the following:
- `configure.ac`:
- `_CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR`
- `_CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR`
- `_CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION`
- Don't forget to set `_CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true`
- `src/clientversion.h`: (this mirrors `configure.ac` - see issue #3539)
- `CLIENT_VERSION_MAJOR`
- `CLIENT_VERSION_MINOR`
- `CLIENT_VERSION_REVISION`
- Don't forget to set `CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true`
- `doc/README.md` and `doc/README_windows.txt`
- `doc/Doxyfile`: `PROJECT_NUMBER` contains the full version
- `contrib/gitian-descriptors/*.yml`: usually one'd want to do this on master after branching off the release - but be sure to at least do it before a new major release
###Bitcoin maintainers/release engineers, update (commit) version in sources Write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:
pushd ./bitcoin git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
configure.ac
doc/README*
doc/Doxyfile
contrib/gitian-descriptors/*.yml
src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)
# tag version in git (or ping @wumpus on IRC, he has specific tooling to generate the list of merged pulls
and sort them into categories based on labels)
git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0) Generate list of authors:
# write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example: git log --format='%aN' "$*" | sort -ui | sed -e 's/^/- /'
git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0) Tag version (or release candidate) in git

Wait for Windows/OS X detached signatures:
Once the Windows/OS X builds each have 3 matching signatures, they will be signed with their respective release keys.
