+This document describes the release process of the `Bio-Formats`_ Java library.
+The release process uses GitHub actions, make sure that the actions are active before pushing any tag.
+
+Before starting the release process, 
+open a Pull Request with a new release entry in the `whats-new <https://github.com/ome/bio-formats-documentation/blob/master/sphinx/about/whats-new.rst>`_ page. When approved by both the OME team and the Glencoe Software team, merge and start the release process.

+
+Release process
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Source code release
+-------------------
+
+Before making a new release, merge all contributions on the ``develop`` branch of `Bio-Formats`_.
+
+The first operation to perform a Maven release is to bump the version out of
+``SNAPSHOT`` using the Maven versions plugin, add and commit::
+
+    $ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=x.y.z -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ mvn versions:set-property -Dproperty=release.version -DnewVersion=x.y.z -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ git add -u .
+    $ git commit -m "Bump release version to x.y.z"
+
+
+A signed tag must be created for the released version using :command:`git tag -s`::
+
+    $ git tag -s -m "Tag version x.y.z" vx.y.z
+
+
+Revert to ``SNAPSHOT``, add and commit::
+
+    $ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=x.y.t-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ git add -u .
+    $ git commit -m "Revert to snapshot"
+
+Both the ``develop`` branch as well as the tag must be pushed upstream::
+
+    $ git push origin develop vx.y.z
+
+This will trigger GitHub action builds, generate artifacts, create a GitHub release and upload
+the artifacts to the release on GitHub and to the `OME artifactory`_. 
+An hourly cron job runs on our virtual machine and copy the artifacts published on Github under `Bio-Formats Downloads`_.
+
+Close the milestone if any and add new one if needed.
+
+Documentation release
+---------------------
+
+Before making a new release, merge all contributions on the ``master`` branch of `Bio-Formats Documentation`_.
+
+The first operation to perform a Maven release is to bump the version out of
+``SNAPSHOT`` using the Maven versions plugin, add and commit::
+
+    $ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=x.y.z -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ mvn versions:set-property -Dproperty=bioformats.version -DnewVersion=x.y.z -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ mvn versions:set-property -Dproperty=bio-formats-examples.version -DnewVersion=x.y.z -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ git add -u .
+    $ git commit -m "Bump release version to x.y.z"
+
+A signed tag must be created for the released version using :command:`git tag -s`::

+    $ git tag -s -m "Tag version x.y.z" vx.y.z
+
+Revert to ``SNAPSHOT``, add and commit::
+
+    $ mvn versions:set -DnewVersion=x.y.t-SNAPSHOT -DgenerateBackupPoms=false
+    $ git add -u .
+    $ git commit -m "Revert to snapshot"
+
+Both the ``master`` branch as well as the tag must be pushed upstream::
+
+    $ git push origin master vx.y.z
+
+
+The documentation is built and published on `Read The Docs`_.
+
+An hourly cron job runs on our virtual machine and adds redirect from for example `docs.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/7.3.1 <https://docs.openmicroscopy.org/bio-formats/7.3.1>`_ to `bio-formats.readthedocs.io/en/v7.3.1/ <https://bio-formats.readthedocs.io/en/v7.3.1/>`_.
