# After Release

After the release make a pull request with the following changes:

- Add a new Unreleased section header to `CHANGELOG.md`.
- In `Cargo.toml`, update the version to the nextversion, e.g.
`v0.8.4`.
- In `Cargo.toml`, revert the libc dependency to its git master branch.
- Make a commit of the above changes with a message like "[skip ci] Bump to v0.8.4"
- This skips continuous integration testing on the build bots and Travis CI
Once a release is done, all that's left is to change the `libc` version
back to using the version from git. So make a pull request containing a
simple commit entitled "Start the next dev cycle" that changes the `libc`
dependency in `Cargo.toml` to using it from git master.
