 Development Snapshots

+Development snapshots are made on a regular basis. They are invoked with::

-* make a changelog entry
-* create a tarball. The tarball should be named as
-  ``psignifit3.0_beta_DD-MM-YYYY.tar.gz``
-* create a tag in the git repository. The tag for a snapshot should be
-  ``snap-YYYY-MM-DD``
-* upload the tarball to sourceforge (into a new folder!)
-* push tags
+This will create all the required zip files and windows installers, tag the git
+repository, and upload the files and tags to sourceforge.
 
 Tags
 ....
 
 Tags should mark critical points in the development history in the following way:
 
-* ``snap-YYYY-MM-DD`` marks the release of a development snapshot
-* ``doc-YYYY-MM-DD`` marks a modification of the documentation that has been uploaded to sourceforge.
+* ``release/3.0_beta.YYYYMMDD.1`` marks the release of a development snapshot
+* ``doc-YYYYMMDD`` marks a modification of the documentation that has been uploaded to sourceforge.
+
+Older tags may have different versioning schemes. This scheme was established
+beginning of 2012.
