1. Check windows snapshot builder logs (http://snaps.php.net/win32/snapshot-STABLE.log f.e.)1. Checkout your release branch, you should have created when releasing previous RC
 and bump the version numbers in ``main/php_version.h``, ``configure.in`` and possibly ``NEWS``.
   
2. Bump the version numbers in ``main/php_version.h``, ``configure.in`` and possibly ``NEWS``.2. If a CVE commit needs to be merged to the release, then have it committed to
 the base branches and merged upwards as usual (f.e commit the CVE fix to 5.3,
 merge to 5.4, 5.5 etc...). Then you can cherry-pick it in your release branch.
 Don't forget to update NEWS manually in an extra commit then.
   
3. **Merge** all related sections in NEWS (f.e. merge the 5.4.1RC1 and 5.4.0 sections)3. Commit those changes
   
4. Commit those changes4. run the "scripts/dev/credits" script in php-src and commit the changes in the

6. tag the repository with the version f.e. "``git tag -s php-5.4.1``"5. Compile and make test, with and without ZTS, using the right Bison version
(of course, you need to change that to the version you're rolling an RC for).(for example, for 5.5, Bison 2.4.1 is used)
When making 5.X release, you need to tag the Zend directory separately!! 
   
7. Bump up the version numbers in ``main/php_version.h``, ``configure.in`` and6. Check ./sapi/cli/php -v output for version matching.
possibly ``NEWS`` again, to the **next** version. F.e. if the release candidate 
was "5.4.1RC1" then the new one should be "5.4.1RC2-dev" - regardless if we get 
a new RC or not. This is to make sure ``version_compare()`` can correctly work. 
   
8. Commit those changes7. tag the repository with the version f.e. "``git tag -s php-5.4.1``"
   
9. Log in onto the snaps box and go into the correct tree (f.e. the PHP-5.48. Push the tag f.e. "``git push origin php-5.4.1``"
branch if you're rolling 5.5.x releases). 
   
10. You do not have to update the tree, but of course you can with "``git pull9. run: ``PHPROOT=. ./makedist php 5.4.1``, this will export the tag, create configure
origin <branch>``".and build three tarballs (gz, bz2 and xz).
 Check if the pear files are updated (phar).
   
11. run: ``./makedist php 5.4.1``, this will export the tree, create configure10. Generate the GPG signature files for the archives.
and build two tarballs (one gz and one bz2).  ``gpg -u YOUREMAIL --armor --detach-sign php-X.Y.Z.tar.xxx``
   
12. Commit those two tarballs to web/php-distributions.git, then update the git11. Commit and push all the tarballs and signature files to web/php-distributions.git,

    git submodule init;    ``git submodule init;
     git submodule update;      git submodule update;
     cd distributions;      cd distributions;
     git pull origin master;      git pull origin master;
     cd ..;      cd ..;
     git commit distributions;      git commit distributions;
    git push;    git push;``
 This is to fetch the last commit id from php-distributions.git and commit this
 last commit id to web/php.git, then, mirrors will now sync
   
13. Once the release has been tagged, contact the PHP Windows development team12. Once the release has been tagged, contact the PHP Windows development team
(internals-win@lists.php.net) so that Windows binaries can be created. Once(internals-win@lists.php.net) so that Windows binaries can be created.
those are made, they should be committed to SVN too. 
   
 14. Check if the pear files are updated (phar for 5.1+ or run pear/make-pear-bundle.php with 4.4)  
   
 15. When making a final release, also remind the PHP Windows development team  
 (internals-win@lists.php.net) to prepare the installer packages for Win32.
