## Releasing new versions

`dumb-init` uses [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/). If you're making a
contribution, please don't bump the version number yourself—we'll take care
of that after merging!

The process to release a new version is:

1. Update the version in `VERSION`
2. Run `make VERSION.h`
2. Update the Debian changelog with `dch -v {new version}`.
3. Update the `wget` url in the README to point to the new version.
4. Commit the changes and tag the commit like `v1.0.0`.
5. `git push --tags origin master`
6. Run `rm -rf dist && python setup.py sdist` to create a source distribution
7. Run `twine upload dist/*` to upload the new version to PyPI
8. Run `make builddeb-docker` and upload the resulting Debian package to a new
