# Release checklist
## New feature release
* Update `WhatsNew.txt`
* Bump version number to 2.EVEN.0 in all these locations:
* `configure.ac`, `CMakeLists.txt`: `SDL_*_VERSION`
* `Xcode/SDL/Info-Framework.plist`: `CFBundleShortVersionString`,
`CFBundleVersion`
* `Makefile.os2`: `VERSION`
* `Makefile.w32`: `*_VERSION`
* `include/SDL_version.h`: `SDL_*_VERSION`, `SDL_PATCHLEVEL`
* `src/main/windows/version.rc`: `FILEVERSION`, `PRODUCTVERSION`,
`FileVersion`, `ProductVersion`
* Bump ABI version information
* `CMakeLists.txt`, `Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`:
`DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION`, `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION`
* set first number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to
(100 * *minor*) + 1
* set second number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to 0
* if backwards compatibility has been broken,
increase `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION` (?)
* Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent
* Regenerate `configure`
* Do the release
## New bugfix release
* Check that no new API/ABI was added
* If it was, do a new feature release (see above) instead
* Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is even)
* Same places as listed above
* Bump ABI version information
* `CMakeLists.txt`, `Xcode/SDL/SDL.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj`:
`DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION`, `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION`
* set second number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to *patchlevel*
* Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent
* Regenerate `configure`
* Do the release
## After a feature release
* Create a branch like `release-2.24.x`
* Bump version number to 2.ODD.0 for next development branch
* Same places as listed above
* Bump ABI version information
* Same places as listed above
* Assume that the next feature release will contain new API/ABI
* Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent
## New development prerelease
* Bump version number from 2.Y.Z to 2.Y.(Z+1) (Y is odd)
* Same places as listed above

`DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION`, `DYLIB_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION`
* set first number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to
(100 * *minor*) + *patchlevel* + 1
* set second number in `DYLIB_CURRENT_VERSION` to 0
