How to make a release:

- change version in CHANGES and add release date
- change version in __version__ (elixir/__init__.py)
- change version in setup.py
- commit

- make tag in subversion
    "svn copy http://elixir.ematia.de/svn/elixir/trunk
              http://elixir.ematia.de/svn/elixir/tags/%s" % version

- build tar.gz, egg for 2.4 and 2.5.
    On my system (python defaults to 2.4):
    "python setup.py bdist_egg"
    "python2.5 setup.py sdist bdist_egg upload"

- log to pypi and send the 2.4 egg manually (or if somebody has another way,
  I'd be glad to hear it).

- announce release on those lists:
    - Elixir <sqlelixir@googlegroups.com> 
    - SQLAlchemy <sqlalchemy@googlegroups.com>
    - TurboGears <turbogears@googlegroups.com>
    - Python announce <python-announce-list@python.org>

- announce it on freshmeat
