# Release Guide
* Release libstrophe and libmesode if required
* Run Unit tests: `make check-unit`
* Run Functional tests - Currently disabled
* Run manual valgrind tests for new features
* Build and simple tests in Virtual machines ideally all dists including OSX and Windows (Cygwin)
* Update Inline command help (./src/command/cmd_defs.c)
* Check copyright dates in all files
* Generate HTML docs (the docgen argument only works when package status is development)
`./profanity docgen`
* Generate manpages for profanity commands (the mangen argument only works when package status is development)
`./profanity mangen`
These files should be added to the docs subfolder and added to git whenever a command changes.
