1. Tasks in the elinks module (part 1):
- Go over the changes since the last release. Use git-shortlog as a template.
Write a small changelog highlighting the most important changes. Changes
by new contributors are always important!
- Update NEWS file and commit. Remember to add the new version number!
Don't add the release date yet though; it will be added after the release,
from the date in the mailing list archives.
Don't add the release date yet though; you will add it in a later step.
- Change VERSION in the top of configure.in to hold the new version number.
- Update the manpages so the will have the new release number by first
building the source, followed by making the `update-man' target in doc/.

$ git tag -s -F changelog.file elinks-X.X.X
- Run script to create new tarballs (both .gz and .bz2).
$ contrib/mkdist -g "$PWD/.git" -r elinks-X.X.X -l X.X.X
This step also builds the elinks binary and documentation based on
the label, and that might fail because of some bug, so it's best to
do this before pushing anything.
- Create ASCII armored signature files.
$ gpg -b --armor elinks-X.X.X.tar.bz2
$ gpg -b --armor elinks-X.X.X.tar.gz
- Append ".GIT" to the VERSION variable in the top of configure.in.
- Commit only this change.
- Push these changes plus tag using:
$ git push
$ git push --tags
$ git push tag elinks-X.X.X
2. Tasks on http://elinks.cz/ (part 1):
- Wait until the tag etc. has been synced or force a sync of the repository
at http://elinks.cz/elinks.git/.
- Run script to create new tarballs (both .gz and .bz2).
$ mkdist elinks-X.X.X X.X.X -r
3. Tasks on localhost:
- Download new tarballs and create ASCII armored signature files.
- Copy the elinks-X.X.X.tar.* files to http://elinks.cz/download/.
- Send announcement to elinks-users mailing list. Do not format it
as multipart/signed because the linuxfromscratch archive does not
display such messages properly.
- Wait for the announcement to hit the elinks-users mailing list archive.
$ gpg -b --armor elinks-X.X.X.tar.bz2
$ gpg -b --armor elinks-X.X.X.tar.gz

"magic numbers" expanded by the macro. Possibly, move the cut-off markers
that control which news entries to display on the front page.
- Rebuild index.html, download.html, news.html, and news.rss.
