+# Steps to do a release:
+#
+# 1. Make sure the repo builds and ./flatttests passes first, so that any
+#    version changes are localized.
+# 2. Run this script which should update all the version strings in the
+#    appropriate places.
+# 3. `make clean`
+# 4. `make -j flatc`
+# 5. Make sure the version is part of flatc: `./flatc --version`
+# 6. `scripts/generated_code.py`
+# 7. `goldens/generated_code.py`
+# 8. `make -j`
+# 9. Make sure the tests pass: `./flattests`
