+Internal documentation on how to make a LanguageTool release
+
+-make a CVS update
+-download latest translations from http://crowdin.net/download/project/languagetool.zip
+ and put them into CVS using ./i18n_update.sh
+-set version number in build.properties
+-set JLanguageTool.VERSION in JLanguageTool.java
+-set the local IDE settings back to Java 1.5 and make sure that any compile problems
+ are compile-time only issues, i.e. that the code will run under Java 1.5
+ (e.g. using @Override is okay, using methods introduced in Java 1.6 is not)
+-update CHANGES files
+-update README file (e.g. list of supported languages)
+-make sure there are no other local changes left that are not committed
+-run "ant test"
+-run "ant" 
+-test command line application, OOo integration, and stand-alone GUI version
+ with at least these test sentences: 
+    I've got allot of questions to you. (en)
+    Seit 10 Jahre. (de)
+    El agua es de gratis. (es)
+    Je voudrais ajouter en plus quelque chose. (fr)
+    Ovviamente... è tutto a gratis! (it)
+    Dit is goed, en niet foutief. (nl)
+    Kupiłem wino chciałem też pić wodę. (pl)
+    Стоимость работ составила 10 тыс рублей. (ru)
+-upload to the server:
+    -dist/*.oxt, dist/README.txt and dist/CHANGES.txt to "download"
+    -run "ant javadoc" and upload dist/docs/api/* to "development"
+-run "ant jnlp" (note you need keystore.ks with the certificate to do this;
+	for security reasons it is not in the repository. We need to ignore the
+	"The signer certificate has expired" warning as no free certificates
+	are available anymore, so the webstart user will get a warning)
+-upload to the server:
+    -dist/web/ to www/webstart/web/ (resulting from "ant jnlp")
+-[still needed?] run "ant dist-tgz" and upload the file LanguageTool-X.Y.Z-dev-src.tar.gz
+ (this is the source without libraries, needed e.g. for Debian packaging. For
+ that, also make sure that the directory which contains the *.tar.gz is browsable)
+-commit local version number changes to CVS
+-tag release as V_x_y_z, e.g. V_0_9_2
+ (Eclipse: 'Team -> Tag as Version' on the JLanguageTool project)
+
+-update website
+    -index.php (remember to also set $lastmod)
+    -languages/index.php (run de.danielnaber.languagetool.dev.RuleOverview,
+     remember to also set $lastmod)
+    -languagetool.update.xml (active only if it's linked in description.xml)
+    -...
+
+-build.properties, JLanguageTool.VERSION in JLanguageTool.java:
+    -set to next version: x.y.z-dev
+
+-write announcements:
+    -LanguageTool mailing list
+    -http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/languagetool
+    -freshmeat
+    -http://twitter.com/languagetoolorg
+    -Daniel's blog
+	-Polish blog: morfologik.blogspot.com
+	-pl.openoffice.org
+	
+	
+Community update of the Wikipedia data on community.languagetool.org (needs server access):
+
+ -unzip the current release in /home/languagetool/ltcommunity/corpus/code
+ -if the CheckWikipediaDump.java itself has changed, upload the *.class files built by Eclipse
+  to /home/languagetool/ltcommunity/corpus/de/danielnaber/languagetool/dev/wikipedia/ 
+ -in /home/languagetool/ltcommunity/corpus, call this for each language ("de" in this example):
+    ./update.sh de
+    (this will run ./clean.sh de, ./download.sh de and ./check.sh de - it will download only part of the dump)
+  Language codes are: en de pl fr es it nl lt uk ru sl sv ro is gl ca
+
+Community update of the rules at community.languagetool.org (needs server access):
+
+ -create a new JAR of the rules and resources of the current release:
+ 	zip -r LanguageTool-Rules.jar resource/ rules/
+ -make a backup of /home/languagetool/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib/LanguageTool-Rules.jar and LanguageTool.jar
+  to a different directory
+ -copy the newly created LanguageTool-Rules.jar and LanguageTool.jar from the current release to
+  /home/languagetool/tomcat/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/lib
+ -maybe update the other JARs, too
+ -restart tomcat
