+ After all the components are bundled up, an official announcement is sent to crossfire-announce at lists.real-time.com.  I usually use the announcement of the last release as a template.
+   * Update 1.9.1 to 1.10.0
+   * generate a sum of the files.  I put all of them in one directory, so it is just a simple ''sum *'' and remove any extra entries that shouldn't be there.
+   * Same for md5sums - ''md5sum *''
+   * At the top of the file, put in the notable changes - note you may already have these from the steps above.
+   * At end of file, put in complete changelog file.
+   * Send mail to crossfire-announce at lists.real-time.com.  Note it is a moderated alias, so there may be some time lag in the message actually appearing.
