  1. Before packaging a new release based on a new source tarball, you have to update the version suffix in the Makefile:

        ```

        VER = [NEW_VERSION]

        ```

  2. After updating Makefile VER attribute, update all font metadata by executing:

        ```

        $ make versionupdate

        ```

        can verfy changes using ftinfo/otfinfo or fontforge itself. 

  3. It is highly recommended that file 'ChangeLog' is updated to reflect changes.

  4. Create a tarball with the following command:

        ```

        $ make dist

        ```

        The new versioned tarball will be available in the dist/ folder as `liberation-fonts-[NEW_VERSION].tar.gz.`

  5. Create github tag for that [NEW_VERSION] and upload dist tarball
