Hey, Ivanovic...the list of binary-builders for non-Linux platforms needs to be fixed.

dos2unix text-files
pngcrush .png-files to hopefully reduce size
Update Manual (from Wiki?)
Update version and 'default server' in configure.ac, src/wesconfig.h and config.h.dummy
Update VC++ project files (Sirp?)
Commit changes
Make release tag in CVS
Do fresh checkout with tag and create release tarball ('make dist')
Build wesnoth from release tarball (--enable-server --enable-editor --enable-tools --enable-campaign-server)
Make md5sum of the release tarball
(I have signed md5sum with gpg, so tarball can be matched against md5sum and md5sum can be verified with gpg, just in

case there is even reason to check if tarball(s) have been tampered)

Upload release tarball and md5sums to ftp.wesnoth.org/www/files/ and SourceForge
Post release announcement to forum
Update Wesnoth web-site: news, downloads
Inform binary builders, packagers and porters (see WesnothBinaries)
- Windows builder (Sirp)
- MacOSX builder (Sithrandel)
