+Creating a Release
+================
+
+- Update changelog (`changelog.md`) with the new version number and change set. When updating the changelog please follow the same pattern as that of previous change sets (otherwise this may break the next step).
+- Import the ReleaseMaker module and execute `New-Release` cmdlet to perform the following actions.
+  - Update module manifest (engine/PSScriptAnalyzer.psd1) with the new version number and change set
+  - Update the version number in `engine/project.json` and `rules/project.json`
+  - Create a release build in `out/`
+
+```powershell
+    PS> Import-Module .\Utils\ReleaseMaker.psm1
+    PS> New-Release
+```
+
+- Sign the binaries and PowerShell files in the release build and publish the module to [PowerShell Gallery](www.powershellgallery.com).
+- Create a PR on `development` branch, with all the changes made in the previous step.
+- Merge the changes to `development` and then merge `development` to `master` (Note that the `development` to `master` merge should be a `fast-forward` merge).
+- Draft a new release on github and tag `master` with the new version number.
