* Update `WhatsNew.txt`
* Bump version number to 2.EVEN.0:
* `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 2 EVEN 0`
* (spaces between each component of the version, and `EVEN` will be a real number in real life.
* Run test/versioning.sh to verify that everything is consistent
* Do the release
## New bugfix release
* Check that no new API/ABI was added

* `./build-scripts/update-version.sh 2 Y Z+1`
