I just updated the wiki with the basic steps I am doing. I will try to keep it updated as I make corrections (as it seems I should in the case of merging strings). https://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/ReleaseProcedure#toc1 I hope to eventually organize all of my notes. I have some that are organized as "only for alpha1", "only for beta1", etc., and other informal things to check (e.g. for pre-releases use a different, scarier, form of ANNOUNCE). > It seems strings were not properly remerged for beta. I think I have a fundamental misunderstanding. I thought that strings were supposed to be remerged before asking translators for translations. Then the translator returns the po file, and the po and the corresponding gmo files are committed. What is the purpose of remerging strings before a release? I was spoiled during 2.2.0 because I think Georg and Uwe took care of all translation-related issues. That ended up being a mistake because I realize that it is important for the release manager to know all parts of the process, so I'm trying to learn. Scott
