 ## Regular release
 
 1. Open a PR to the master branch with a commit (using message `"release: prepare for $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"`, for example) that
-   * finalizes the release notes in [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md) (make sure to include an entry for `### ABI Compatibility`) and
-   * updates `_PKG_VERSION_*`, `_LIB_VERSION_*`, and sets `_PKG_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `true` in `configure.ac`.

+   * updates `project(secp256k1 ...` to `VERSION $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH` and updates `*_LIB_VERSION_*` in `CMakeLists.txt`.
 2. After the PR is merged, tag the commit and push it:
    ```
    RELEASE_COMMIT=<merge commit of step 1>
    git tag -s v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH -m "libsecp256k1 $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH" $RELEASE_COMMIT
    git push git@github.com:bitcoin-core/secp256k1.git v$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH
    ```
-3. Open a PR to the master branch with a commit (using message `"release cleanup: bump version after $MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH"`, for example) that sets `_PKG_VERSION_IS_RELEASE` to `false` and `_PKG_VERSION_PATCH` to `$PATCH + 1` and increases `_LIB_VERSION_REVISION`. If other maintainers are not present to approve the PR, it can be merged without ACKs.
