4. Vote on release

Call for a release vote and once the release is approved, move to the next step.

Wait 24 hours for mirrors to update. Once that happens you should delete the old release files for previous versions of Roller. They are already archived elsewhere by the infrastructure team.

6. Update the website to point to the new files

Update the website files in SVN and update to publish.

7. Announce the release

Make the announcement on the mailing list and other places.
