# Release checklist
When changing the version, run `build-scripts/update-version.sh X Y Z`,
where `X Y Z` are the major version, minor version, and patch level. So
`3 8 1` means "change the version to 3.8.1". This script does much of the
mechanical work.
* Run `build-scripts/create-release.py -R libsdl-org/SDL --ref <git-ref>` to command
GitHub Actions to start creating release assets.
It's advisable to run this script regularly, and also prior to any release step.
When creating the release assets, `<git-ref>` must be the release tag
This makes sure the revision string baked into the archives is correct.
