21. Update the release number in bfd/version.m4 on the release
branch to a whole new minor version number, without a point
value. Eg "2.29.90" becomes "2.30". Change bfd/development.sh
- to set the value to "false". Regenerate the configure and
- makefiles. Add ChangeLog entries for the updates and add a
- "this-is-the-2.XX-release" comment and commit. Make sure to
- include the .gmo files.

Create a new documentation folder on the sourceware.org web
pages as /sourceware/www/sourceware/htdocs/binutils/docs-X.XX.
Make the html documentation locally with the "make html" command
