+Doing a Release
+===============
+
+Doing a release of ``cryptography`` is a two part process.
+
+Bumping the version number
+--------------------------
+
+The first step in doing a release is bumping the version number in the
+software.
+
+* Update the version number in ``cryptography/__about__.py`` and
+ ``docs/conf.py``.
+* Do a commit indicating this.
+* Send a pull request with this.
+* Wait for it to be merged.
+
+Performing the release
+----------------------
+
+The commit which merged the version number bump is now the official release
+commit for this release. Once this has happened:
+
+* Run ``invoke release {version}``.
+
+That's all, the release should now be available on PyPI and a tag should be
+available in the repository.
