= ros_comm/Release Instructions =

ros_comm is trickier to release than other stacks because it has several version numbers scattered around.  These locations are:

 1. CMakeLists.txt
 2. clients/cpp/roscpp/include/ros/common.h
 3. tools/roslaunch/roscore.xml

You need to set these version numbers '''before''' running the prerelease.

Thus, the correct release order is:

 1. Update version numbers
 2. Run pre-release
 3. Run release script
