+
+When the project is ready for a new release, do the following:
+
+ * Tag the release with `make NEWTAG=X.Y.Z tag`, bumping .Z to the next version unless there are major changes.
+ * Edit the commit list to reflect the changes that will be visible to users (it shows up on the GitHub Releases page)
+ * Sign the tag with your GPG key
+
+(an editor should open automatically, and gpg is required to be setup in order to sign the tag).
+
+Then push the tag with `git push --tags`. This will trigger
+[cockpituous](https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpituous/tree/master/release)
+to build a new release of welder-web.

+#### Releasing cockpit-composer

+
+ * Build a new `.srpm` with `make cockpit-composer-srpm`, this will also download new translations.
+ * Import the new `.srpm` into the appropriate RHEL release
