This document outlines the process for releasing versions of the form `$MAJOR.$MINOR.$PATCH`.

We aim to cut a regular release every 3-4 months, approximately twice as frequent as major Bitcoin Core releases. Every second release should be published one month before the feature freeze of the next major Bitcoin Core release, allowing sufficient time to update the library in Core.
## Sanity Checks
## Sanity checks
Perform these checks when reviewing the release PR (see below):
1. Ensure `make distcheck` doesn't fail.
```shell
./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-dev-mode && make distcheck
```
```shell
./autogen.sh && ./configure --enable-dev-mode && make distcheck
```
2. Check installation with autotools:
```shell
dir=$(mktemp -d)
./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=$dir && make clean && make install && ls -RlAh $dir
gcc -o ecdsa examples/ecdsa.c $(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$dir/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --cflags --libs libsecp256k1) -Wl,-rpath,"$dir/lib" && ./ecdsa
```
```shell
dir=$(mktemp -d)
./autogen.sh && ./configure --prefix=$dir && make clean && make install && ls -RlAh $dir
gcc -o ecdsa examples/ecdsa.c $(PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$dir/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --cflags --libs libsecp256k1) -Wl,-rpath,"$dir/lib" && ./ecdsa
```
3. Check installation with CMake:
```shell
dir=$(mktemp -d)
build=$(mktemp -d)
cmake -B $build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$dir && cmake --build $build --target install && ls -RlAh $dir
gcc -o ecdsa examples/ecdsa.c -I $dir/include -L $dir/lib*/ -l secp256k1 -Wl,-rpath,"$dir/lib",-rpath,"$dir/lib64" && ./ecdsa
```
4. Use the [`check-abi.sh`](/tools/check-abi.sh) tool to ensure there are no unexpected ABI incompatibilities and that the version number and release notes accurately reflect all potential ABI changes. To run this tool, the `abi-dumper` and `abi-compliance-checker` packages are required.
```shell
tools/check-abi.sh
```
```shell
dir=$(mktemp -d)
build=$(mktemp -d)
cmake -B $build -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$dir && cmake --build $build --target install && ls -RlAh $dir
gcc -o ecdsa examples/ecdsa.c -I $dir/include -L $dir/lib*/ -l secp256k1 -Wl,-rpath,"$dir/lib",-rpath,"$dir/lib64" && ./ecdsa
