# Release Process

1. Bump the version number in [Makefile](/Makefile)
2. Run `make update_version` to update version references in various source and markdown files
3. Make a pull request with the changes
4. Once merged, [draft a new release](https://github.com/bloomberg/xcdiff/releases/new)
5. Tag the release with the appropriate version
6. Use the version number as the release title
7. Populate the description with the recent changes since the last release. For convenience the following command can be used to generate a changelog summary:

```bash
git log master...$(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`) --pretty=format:'- %s'
```
