Releasing snek

Here are the steps to perform when releasing a new version of snek:

1. Make sure the code builds and runs on all target hardware.

2. Check test suite results:

   $ make check

3. Check python code format

   $ make black

4. Update Supported Hardware and Recent Changes sections in README.md

5. Update SNEK_VERSION and SNEK_DATE in snek.defs

6. Use the 'build-snek' script to compile for all target machines. This script uses additional software and hardware to create bits for machines not directly supported in Debian:

   $ ./build-snek otheros

7. Commit version change:

   $ git commit -m'Snek version <version' snek.defs

8. Tag release

   $ git tag -m'Snek version ' main

9. Push tag and branch to repositories

   $ git push origin main $ git push github main

10. Publish release bits

$ ./build-snek upload

11. Send mail to snek mailing list including Recent Changes section from README.
