and looking for files you know you've worked on a lot.

+ Scan the ChangeLogs for user-visible changes, marked with an asterisk
at the left margin.
+ Update NEWS and the Texinfo documentation as appropriate.
documented.
+ Check for any [[incomplete]] sections of NEWS.
+ Fact-check INSTALL.
+ + Make sure AUTHORS and THANKS are up-to-date (see also TODO).
+ + Remove finished items from TODO (those marked w/ "+").
* Make sure the downloading addresses and filenames in README are
current. (But don't bump the version number yet. We do that below.)
* Check that the versions of aclocal, automake, autoconf, and autoheader
in your PATH match those given in HACKING. Note that the `make
dist' process always invokes these tools, even when all the
generated files are up to date.
+ Make specifically sure that the files in libltdl are generated using
+ the same tools as the rest.
* Rebuild all generated files in the source tree:
+ Install the .m4 files where aclocal will find them.
+ Run aclocal.
Punting checklist:
* Add "Guile N.M released." entry to the top-level ChangeLog, and commit it.
-* Tag the entire source tree with a tag of the form "release_N_M"
+* Tag the entire source tree with a tag of the form "release_N_M"
or "release_N_M_L".
* Do a 'make dist'.
* Put the distribution up for FTP somewhere, and send mail to
