For BRIDGES developper

How to make a release ?

First tag the commit that you want with the correct version number. Assuming you are on that commit:

$ git tag -a 3.0.1

Remeber that new tags dont get pushed automatically. So you need to push them manually:

$ git push master 3.0.1

Then you are ready to make the package.

For the windows package go to packaging/windows and run make_package.sh. You can run that from any OS that support standard bash commands.

For a linux package go to packaging/unix and run compile_and_prepare.sh. You need to be on a linux environment to do that.

For a Mac package go to packaging/unix and run compile_and_prepare.sh. You need to be on a mac environment to do that.
