While on master:
- Update the `RELEASE_NOTES` file.
- Update the `RELEASE_NOTES` file, replacing the previous release notes.
- Update the `VERSION` file.
- Update `DOCS/client-api-changes.rst` and `DOCS/interface-changes.rst`
(in particular, update the last version numbers if necessary)
- Commit changes.
- Create signed commit with changes.
- Create signed tag v0.X.Y.
- Add -UNKNOWN suffix to version in `VERSION` file.
- Commit changes, push branch and tag to GitHub.
- Commit changes, push release branch (`release/0.X`) and tag to GitHub.
- Create a new GitHub release using the content of `RELEASE_NOTES` related to
the new version.
If necessary (to e.g. exclude commits already on master), the release can
be done on a branch with different commit history. The release branch **must**
then be merged to master so `git describe` will pick up the tag.
