+## Releasing
+
+Right now the release process is semi-automatic.
+
+1. Create a release tag: `git tag -a v0.0.9 -m "Releasing v0.9.9"`
+2. Build binaries: `make build-x`
+3. _(optional)_ compress the binaries with `upx` (may not work for all architectures)
+4. Create a release in [github](https://github.com/hairyhenderson/gomplate/releases)!
