First, the existing <code>releases/index.html</code> is copied to a version-specific archive file, e.g. <code>releases/1.1.4.html</code> and modified to be just about this version and contain a warning about this version being outdated. Comments excluding files that never have been published for this version can be stripped as well. It's best to look at the older archive files for what needs to be done. | First, the existing <code>releases/index.html</code> is copied to a version-specific archive file, e.g. <code>releases/1.1.4.html</code> and modified to be just about this version and contain a warning about this version being outdated.

In the <code>releases/index.html</code> itself, a selective search and replace is done to update the old version number with the new one. The language packs are left at the currently mentioned version number if this is a security update during a localization freeze phase, unless a newer language pack is available for that language. The L10n freeze allows us to use a langpack for, say, SeaMonkey 1.1.2 flawlessly with a 1.1.5 release build, people should still be linked to that because of this fact. All (contibuted) builds that are now updated to the new release version but are not available yet, get commented out with HTML comments, so it's easy to put them back once they are available. | |||
Finally, <code>mozilla-org/html/VARIABLES</code> needs to be updated to reflect the new version, as the stuff defined in there is used among others on the SeaMonkey front page and the www.mozilla.org front and downoload pages. Note that checkins to that file are restricted to a small group of people. | Finally, <code>mozilla-org/html/VARIABLES</code> needs to be updated to reflect the new version, as the stuff defined in there is used among others on the SeaMonkey front page and the www.mozilla.org front and downoload pages.
