* About release candidates (beta versions):
Prior to a final release, we typically make
"release candidates" (rc) for the purpose of both
(a) having port maintainers exercise their build development,
and report back any problems -- once mended, additional "rc"s
can be rolled; and (b) providing beta builds for end-users
to try out (with the understanding that things may be
unstable).
Set the `VER_VERSION` in the Makefile to denote the release
candidate (e.g., "0.9.34-rc1"). Commit, and follow the steps
above for making a release. Use a tag includes mentions the
release candidate, e.g. "tuxpaint-0_9_34-rc1-2024-10-16".
* Upload each project's ".tar.gz" file from their "build/" subdirs
to ftp.tuxpaint.org.
