**General rewording, proof-reading, deduplication, shortening, reordering, simplification, cleanup/formatting/standardization**

- standardize page names, rework documentation structure, update TOC
- use same example paths everywhere
- level 1 titles on all pages
- fix broken links
- .md suffix on all page links (works both from readthedocs and github repository views)

**Server:**

A full and concise installation guide with examples is a frequent request. The documentation should provide such a guide for basic installation needs, while explaining alternative/advanced configuration at the end. Links to reference guides and documentation should be used more frequently to avoid recommending an outdated or excessively complex configuration.

- server: move most server-related info to server-configuration.md, cleanup/shorten
- server: update list of php dependencies/libraries, link to composer.json
- server: installation: support 3 install methods (from release zip, from sources, using docker)
- server: installation: use rsync instead of mv as mv results will change depending of taget directory already existing or not
- server: add example/basic usage of certbot
- server, upgrade, installation: update file permissions setup, use sudo for upgrade operations in webserver document root
- server: apache: add comments to configuration, fix and factorize file permissions setup, set cache-control header, deny access to dotfiles, add missing apache config steps, add http->https redirect example
- server: nginx: refactor nginx configuration, add comments, DO log access to denied/protected files
- server: add links to MDN for x-forwarded-* http headers explanation, cleanup/clarify robots.txt and crawlers section
- server: bump file upload size limit to 100MB we have reports of bookmark exports weighing +40MB - i have a 13MB one here
- server: simplify phpinfo documentation
- server: move backup and restore information to dedicated page
- docker: move all docker docs to Docker.md, simplify/ docker setup, add docker-compose.yml example, replace docker-101 with docker cheatsheet
- troubleshooting: move all troubleshooting documentation to troubleshooting.md

**Usage:**

- index: add getting started section on index page
- features/usage: move all usage-related documentation to usage.md, add links from the main feature list to corresponding usage docs, clarify/reword features list
- shaarli configuration: add note about configuring from web interface

**Removed:**

- remove obsolete/orphan images
- remove obsolete shaarchiver example
- remove outdated "decode datastore content" snippet

**Development:**

- development: move development-related docs (static analysis, CI, unit tests, 3rd party libs, link structure/directory, guidelines, security....) to dev/ directory
- development: Merge several pages to development.md
- **Breaking change?:** remove mentions of 'stable' branch, switch to new branch/release model (master=latest commit, release=latest tag)
- **Breaking change?:** refer to base sharing unit as "Shaare" everywhere (TODO: reflect changes in the code?) doc: update featues list/link to usage.md for details
- development: directory structure: add note about required file permissions
- .travis-ci.yml: add comments
- .htaccess: add comment

+# Release Shaarli
+
+## Requirements
+
+This guide assumes that you have:
+
+- a GPG key matching your GitHub authentication credentials/email (the email address identified by the GPG key is the same as the one in your `~/.gitconfig`)
+- a GitHub fork of Shaarli
+- a local clone of your Shaarli fork, with the following remotes:
+    - `origin` pointing to your GitHub fork
+    - `upstream` pointing to the main Shaarli repository
+- maintainer permissions on the main Shaarli repository, to:
+    - push the signed tag
+    - create a new release
+- [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) needs to be installed
+- The [venv](https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html) Python 3 module needs to be installed for HTML documentation generation.
+
+## Release notes and `CHANGELOG.md`
+
+GitHub allows drafting the release notes for the upcoming release, from the [Releases](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases) page. This way, the release note can be drafted while contributions are merged to `master`. See http://keepachangelog.com/en/0.3.0/ for changelog formatting.
+
+`CHANGELOG.md` should contain the same information as the release note draft for the upcoming version. Update it to:
+
+- add new entries (additions, fixes, etc.)
+- mark the current version as released by setting its date and link
+- add a new section for the future unreleased version
+
+```bash
+## [v0.x.y](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases/tag/v0.x.y) - UNRELEASES
+
+### Added
+
+### Changed
+
+### Fixed
+
+### Removed
+
+### Deprecated
+
+### Security
+
+```
+
+
+## Update the list of Git contributors
+
+```bash
+$ make authors
+$ git commit -s -m "Update AUTHORS"
+```
+
+## Create and merge a Pull Request
+
+Create a Pull Request to marge changes from your remote, into `master` in the community Shaarli repository, and have it merged.
+
+
+## Create the release branch and update shaarli_version.php
+
+```bash
+# fetch latest changes from master to your local copy
+git checkout master
+git pull upstream master
+
+# If releasing a new minor version, create a release branch
+$ git checkout -b v0.x
+
+# Bump shaarli_version.php from dev to 0.x.0, **without the v**
+$ vim shaarli_version.php
+$ git add shaarli_version
+$ git commit -s -m "Bump Shaarli version to v0.x.0"
+$ git push upstream v0.x
+```
+
+## Create and push a signed tag
+
+Git [tags](http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Distributed-Git-Maintaining-a-Project#Tagging-Your-Releases) are used to identify specific revisions with a unique version number that follows [semantic versioning](https://semver.org/)
+
+```bash
+# update your local copy
+git checkout v0.5
+git pull upstream v0.5
+
+# create a signed tag
+git tag -s -m "Release v0.5.0" v0.5.0
+
+# push the tag to upstream
+git push --tags upstream
+```
+
+Here is how to verify a signed tag. [`v0.5.0`](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases/tag/v0.5.0) is the first GPG-signed tag pushed on the Community Shaarli. Let's have a look at its signature!
+
+```bash
+# update the list of available tags
+git fetch upstream
+
+# get the SHA1 reference of the tag
+git show-ref tags/v0.5.0
+# gives: f7762cf803f03f5caf4b8078359a63783d0090c1 refs/tags/v0.5.0
+
+# verify the tag signature information
+git verify-tag f7762cf803f03f5caf4b8078359a63783d0090c1
+# gpg: Signature made Thu 30 Jul 2015 11:46:34 CEST using RSA key ID 4100DF6F
+# gpg: Good signature from "VirtualTam <virtualtam@flibidi.net>" [ultimate]
+```
+
+## Publish the GitHub release
+
+- In the `master` banch, update version badges in `README.md` to point to the newly released Shaarli version
+- Update the previously drafted [release](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases) (notes, tag) and publish it
+- Profit!
+
+
+## Generate full release zip archives
+
+Release archives will contain Shaarli code plus all required third-party libraries. They are useful for users who:
+
+- have no SSH access, no possibility to install PHP packages/server extensions, no possibility to run scripts (shared hosting)
+- do not want to install build/dev dependencies on their server
+
+ `git checkout` the appropriate branch, then:
+
+```bash
+# checkout the appropriate branch
+git checkout 0.x.y
+# generate zip archives
+make release_archive
+```
+
+This will create `shaarli-v0.x.y-full.tar`, `shaarli-v0.x.y-full.zip`. These archives need to be manually uploaded on the previously created GitHub [release](https://github.com/shaarli/Shaarli/releases).
+
+
+### Update the `latest` branch
+
+```bash
+# checkout the 'latest' branch
+git checkout latest
+# merge changes from your newly published release branch
+git merge v0.x.y
+# fix eventual conflicts with git mergetool...
+# run tests
+make test
+# push the latest branch
+git push upstream latest
+```
