Release Process

update translations (ping wumpus, Diapolo or tcatm on IRC)
see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/translation_process.md#syncing-with-transifex

###update (commit) version in sources

contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
doc/README*
share/setup.nsi
src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)

###tag version in git

git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)

###write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:

git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)

##perform gitian builds

From a directory containing the bitcoin source, gitian-builder and gitian.sigs

export SIGNER=(your gitian key, ie bluematt, sipa, etc)
export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
pushd ./bitcoin
git checkout v${VERSION}
popd
pushd ./gitian-builder
    mkdir -p inputs; cd inputs/

Register and download the Apple SDK (see OSX Readme for details) visit https://developer.apple.com/downloads/download.action?path=Developer_Tools/xcode_4.6.3/xcode4630916281a.dmg

Build bitcoind and bitcoin-qt on Linux32, Linux64, and Win32:

./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION} --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
pushd build/out
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../../../
popd
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
pushd build/out
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../../../
popd
    ./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-bitcoin.yml
    ./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-osx --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-osx-bitcoin.yml
pushd build/out
mv Bitcoin-Qt.dmg ../../../
popd
popd

Build output expected:

linux 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + source (bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip)
windows 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + installer + source (bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip)
OSX installer (Bitcoin-Qt.dmg)
Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}[-win|-osx]/(your gitian key)/

repackage gitian builds for release as stand-alone zip/tar/installer exe

Linux .tar.gz:

unzip bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip -d bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux
tar czvf bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux.tar.gz bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux
rm -rf bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux

Windows .zip and setup.exe:

unzip bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip -d bitcoin-${VERSION}-win
mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-win/bitcoin-*-setup.exe .
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win.zip bitcoin-${VERSION}-win
rm -rf bitcoin-${VERSION}-win

###Next steps:

Code-sign Windows -setup.exe (in a Windows virtual machine using signtool) Note: only Gavin has the code-signing keys currently.
upload builds to SourceForge
create SHA256SUMS for builds, and PGP-sign it
update bitcoin.org version make sure all OS download links go to the right versions
update download sizes on bitcoin.org/_templates/download.html
update forum version
update wiki download links
update wiki changelog: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Changelog

Commit your signature to gitian.sigs:

pushd gitian.sigs
git add ${VERSION}/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-win/${SIGNER}
git commit -a
git push  # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
popd

After 3 or more people have gitian-built, repackage gitian-signed zips:

From a directory containing bitcoin source, gitian.sigs and gitian zips

export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
mkdir bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
pushd bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
unzip ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip
mkdir gitian
cp ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-downloader/*.pgp ./gitian/
for signer in $(ls ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/); do
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
done
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
cp bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../
popd
mkdir bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian
pushd bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian
unzip ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip
mkdir gitian
cp ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-downloader/*.pgp ./gitian/
for signer in $(ls ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/); do
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
done
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
cp bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../
popd
