  • Run the full testsuite (tests\testament\tester all) and ensure it's green; actually ensure travis is green (Usually the case these days)

  • Update news.txt

  • write a news ticker entry

  • Update the version

    • In system.nim
    • In compiler.nimble
    • In lib/stdlib.nimble
  • Recompile koch!

  • Generate the full docs; koch web0

  • Generate the installers

    • koch csource -d:release
    • koch xz
    • koch nsis
  • Test the installers: koch testinstall

  • Tag the release, e.g. git tag -am "Version 0.15.0" v0.15.0

  • Merge devel into master

  • Update csources
