HOWTO-RELEASE

    Producing Shapelib Releases
    ===========================

0) Update shapelib_version_major/minor/micro and SHAPELIB_SO_VERSION in configure.ac
   For SHAPELIB_SO_VERSION (CURRENT:REVISION:AGE)
   - For a release with no interface changes just bump REVISION.
   - Adding interfaces, bump CURRENT and AGE, set REVISION to 0.
   - Deleting interfaces / compatibility issues - bump CURRENT, others to zero.

   In CMakeLists.txt, update the equivalent version fields
   - PROJECT_VERSION_MAJOR
   - PROJECT_VERSION_MINOR
   - PROJECT_VERSION_PATCH
   - shp_LIB_VERSIONINFO

   In shapefil.h, update SHAPELIB_VERSION_MAJOR, SHAPELIB_VERSION_MINOR,
   SHAPELIB_VERSION_MICRO
