2. Add a new line in `debian/changelog`.
### 2. Create GitHub release
1. When the above changes are committed to the `master` branch in the repository,
check that all builds are successful:
- https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/actions
- https://travis-ci.org/github/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core
1. Create a GitHub release here: https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases/new

1. When the above changes are committed to the `master` branch in the repository
and pushed, check that all CI workflows are successful (fixing as necessary):
- <https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/actions>
- <https://travis-ci.org/github/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core>
2. Create a GitHub release [here](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases/new):
- Tag version format `RELEASE-X.Y`
- Title: "GF X.Y"
- Description: mention major changes since last release
3. Publish the release to trigger the building of the binary packages (below).
### 3. Binary packages
Build and attach binaries to the release by running the relevant GitHub Actions workflows (TODO):
The binaries will be built automatically by GitHub Actions when the release is created,
but the generated _artifacts_ must be manually attached to the release as _assets_.
1. Go to https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/actions
1. Click "Build [platform] package" under _Workflows_
1. Click "Run workflow" and specify the tag `RELEASE-X.Y`
1. Go to the [actions page](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/actions) and click "Build Binary Packages" under _Workflows_.
2. Choose the workflow run corresponding to the newly created release.
3. Download the artifacts locally. Extract the Ubuntu and macOS ones to get the `.deb` and `.pkg` files.
4. Go back to the [releases page](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases) and click to edit the release information.
5. Add the downloaded artifacts as release assets, giving them names with format `gf-X.Y-PLATFORM.EXT` (e.g. `gf-3.11-macos.pkg`).
### 4. Upload to Hackage
1. Run `make sdist`
1. Visit `https://hackage.haskell.org/upload` and upload the file `dist/gf-X.Y.tar.gz`,
OR upload directly with Cabal (≥2.4): `cabal upload dist/gf-X.Y.tar.gz`
1. If the documentation-building fails on the Hackage server, do:
2. Upload the package, either:
1. **Manually**: visit <https://hackage.haskell.org/upload> and upload the file `dist/gf-X.Y.tar.gz`
2. **via Cabal (≥2.4)**: `cabal upload dist/gf-X.Y.tar.gz`
3. If the documentation-building fails on the Hackage server, do:
```
cabal v2-haddock --builddir=dist/docs --haddock-for-hackage --enable-doc
cabal upload --documentation dist/docs/*-docs.tar.gz
```
## Miscellaneous
### What is the tag `GF-3.10`?
For GF 3.10, the Core and RGL repositories had already been separated, however
the binary packages still included the RGL. `GF-3.10` is a tag that was created
in both repositories ([gf-core](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases/tag/GF-3.10) and [gf-rgl](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/releases/tag/GF-3.10)) to indicate which versions of each went into the binaries.

title: Grammatical Framework Download and Installation
...
**GF 3.11** was released on ? December 2020.
**GF 3.11** was released on ... December 2020.
What's new? See the [release notes](release-3.11.html).
## Binary packages
#### Note: GF core and RGL
Unlike previous versions, these binary packages include only the GF core (compiler and runtime).
The following instructions explain how to install **GF core**, i.e. the compiler, shell and run-time systems.
Obtaining the **Resource Grammar Library (RGL)** is done separately; see the section at the bottom of this page.
| Platform | Download | Features | How to install |
|:----------------|:---------------------------------------------------|:---------------|:---------------------------------|
| macOS | [gf-3.11.pkg](gf-3.11.pkg) | GF, S, C, J, P | Double-click on the package icon |
| Ubuntu (32-bit) | [gf\_3.11\_i386.deb](gf_3.11_i386.deb) | GF, S, C, J, P | `sudo dpkg -i gf_3.11_i386.deb` |
| Ubuntu (64-bit) | [gf\_3.11\_amd64.deb](gf_3.11_amd64.deb) | GF, S, C, J, P | `sudo dpkg -i gf_3.11_amd64.deb` |
| Windows | [gf-3.11-bin-windows.zip](gf-3.11-bin-windows.zip) | GF, S | `unzip gf-3.11-bin-windows.zip` |
## Installing from a binary package
**Features**
Binary packages are available for Debian/Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows and include:
- GF = GF shell and grammar compiler
- S = `gf -server` mode
- C = C run-time system
- J/P = Java/Python binding to the C run-time system
- GF shell and grammar compiler
- `gf -server` mode
- C run-time system
- Java & Python bindings to the C run-time system
### Notes
Unlike in previous versions, the binaries **do not** include the RGL.
The Windows package is installed by just unpacking it anywhere. You will
probably need to set the `PATH` and `GF_LIB_PATH` environment variables,
see Inari's notes on [Installing GF on Windows](http://www.grammaticalframework.org/~inari/gf-windows.html#toc3).
[Binary packages on GitHub](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-core/releases/tag/RELEASE-3.11)
The Ubuntu `.deb` packages should work on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 and
similar Linux distributions. The `.deb` packages were updated
to version 3.10-2 after the release of GF 3.10.
(Because of a packaging bug the Resource Grammar Library was missing
in the 3.10-1 packages.)
### Debian/Ubuntu
The packages for macOS (Mac OS X) should work on at least 10.13 and
10.14 (High Sierra and Mojave)
To install the package use:
```
sudo dpkg -i gf_3.11.deb
```
The Ubuntu `.deb` packages should work on Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04 and similar Linux distributions.
### macOS
To install the package, just double-click it and follow the installer instructions.
The packages should work on at least 10.13 (High Sierra) and 10.14 (Mojave).
### Windows
To install the package, unpack it anywhere.
You will probably need to update the `PATH` environment variable to include your chosen install location.

## Installing the RGL from a binary release
Binary releases of the RGL are made available on [GitHub](https://github.com/GrammaticalFramework/gf-rgl/releases).
In general the steps to follow are:
1. Download a binary release and extract it somewhere on your system.
2. Set the environment variable `GF_LIB_PATH` to point to wherever you extracted the RGL.
## Installing the RGL from source
To compile the RGL, you will need to have GF already installed and in your path.
