-1: Get ready to make a release branch for the manual. You should ensure that ALL of the required doc merges are done. Usually Karen (smoler@cs) takes care of this, but you should check with her to coordinate. If she's not around, there are usually 3 merges that need to happen for any development series release. For example, to release 7.1.1, assuming we've been updating the V7_0_3-branch of doc for stable series changes, you'd need to do the following before you could make a V7_1_1-branch of doc. If you're doing a stable series release, you'd only need to do the first of those merges (=V7_0_3-branch= into =V7_0-branch=) and you'd be ready to create a =V7_0_4-branch= of the manual.
-*:: =V7_0_3-branch= into =V7_0-branch= (the current 7.0 manual)
-*:: =V7_1_0-branch= into =V7_1-branch= (the current 7.1 manual)
-*:: =V7_0-branch= into =V7_1-branch= (to get all the recent 7.0 changes into 7.1 as well)

-1: Make a release branch for the manual. ASK KAREN FIRST! For example, if you're releasing 7.0.3:
-*:: =git clone /p/condor/repository/CONDOR_DOC.git=
-*:: =cd CONDOR_DOC=
-*:: =git branch V7_0_3-branch origin/V7_0-branch=
-*:: =git push origin V7_0_3-branch=

 1: On the main branch of the manual (*not* the newly created release branch, but for example, the regular V7_0-branch), update condor-macros.tex and Makefile to up the version number to the next version, and push those changes to CONDOR_DOC.git.
 
 1: Make sure the nightly build tags are being made on the release branch:
