+# About Hex.pm Releases
+
+Releases of [esqlite on hex.pm](https://hex.pm/packages/esqlite) are managed by Michael Ries ([@mmmries](https://github.com/mmmries)) and Eric Scouten ([@scouten](https://github.com/scouten)).

+To make a release:
+
+1. Increment the version number in `src/esqlite.app.src` as appropriate.
+2. Run `rebar3 ct` to ensure that the build is good.
+3. **IMPORTANT:** Run `rebar3 clean` to remove build artifacts (especially compiled C object code).
+4. Run `rebar3 hex publish` to make the release.
