+Howto create a K3b release (stable branch)
+
+1. create a package from the stable branch using the createPackage.sh script:
+   createPackage.sh -a k3b -av 0.12 -ab branches/stable/extragear/multimedia --notoplevel -ib branches/stable/l10n
+      -is extragear-multimedia --pofiles "k3b libk3b libk3bdevice k3bsetup" --postprocess postprocessk3b.sh --split
+      --admin /branches/KDE/3.4/kde-common/admin
+      
+2. Make sure the version in src/main.cpp, k3b.lsm, README, INSTALL is valid.
+   Check the version in libk3b.
+
+3. Create the tarball.
+
+4. Test the tarball. That includes removing any trace of K3b from the test system before and in the ideal
+   case compile on a minimal system meaning minimal KDE/QT versions.
+
+5. Upload the tarball to upload.sf.net/incoming and create a release on www.sourceforge.net (or use releaseforge,
+   a nice little application which automates the whole sourceforge release thing).
+
+6. Create a news entry on www.k3b.org and update the download page.
+
+7. Promote the release on www.kde-apps.org and freshmeat.net (the latter may also be done with releaseforge)
+
+8. Send an announcement email to:
+    k3b-user@lists.sourceforge.net
+    k3b-announce@lists.sourceforge.net
+    kde-extra-gear@kde.org
+    kde-announce@kde.org
