• change the version in master branch
• create a new release branch

The goal "branch" in Maven Release plugin does not support "preparationGoals" and "completionGoals" so we have to to manually change the version inside the C-client

So now you have to set the version in zookeeper-client/zookeeper-client-c

In 3.7.0 we have:

• configure.ac
• CMakelist
• include/zookeeper_version.hs

Then push a commit with the fix.

It is now time to create CI jobs for the new branch, if you do not have permissions to edit CI configuration just send an email to dev@zookeeper.apache.org

Prepare release branch (for minor release, say 3.6.1)
