+Releasing Terminator
+====================
+
+Make sure you have the latest master branch, no un-committed changes, and are ready to release that state.
+
+```
+VERSION=1.92
+```
+
+## Set version in Python 
+
+```
+sed -i "s/APP_VERSION =.*/APP_VERSION = '${VERSION}'/" terminatorlib/version.py
+```
+
+## Generate the changelog
+
+For the changelog we are using [github-changelog-generator](https://github.com/github-changelog-generator/github-changelog-generator)
+
+```
+github_changelog_generator --future-release "$VERSION"
+```
+
+Check and review CHANGELOG.md for the expected result.
+
+## Git Tag
+
+Commit these changes to the "master" branch:
+
+```
+git add terminatorlib/version.py CHANGELOG.md RELEASE.md
+git commit -v -m "Release version $VERSION"
+git push origin master
+```
+
+And tag it with a signed tag:
+
+```
+git tag -s -m "Version $VERSION" v$VERSION
+```
+
+Push the tag.
+
+```
+git push --tags
+```
+
+## Signed artifacts
+
+To provide a signed tarball for distributions we use sdist and gpg:
+
+```
+python setup.py sdist
+gpg -u markus@lazyfrosch.de --armor \
+  --output dist/terminator-${VERSION}.tar.gz.asc \
+  --detach-sig dist/terminator-${VERSION}.tar.gz
+```
+
+## GitHub Release
+
+Now update the tag to a release on GitHub, and add the artifacts:
+https://github.com/gnome-terminator/terminator/releases
+
+Make sure to add the proper section from CHANGELOG.md as description to the release.
