Gather Release Notes From Jira

First manage the versions of River using Jira. Make sure there is an appropriate release that Jira issues are have been assigned to. You can then view the Roadmap screen in Jira to create the release and make sure that the correct Jira issues are associated to it.

Move the Jira issues around appropriately, especially if you're releasing before all the issues have been resolves. In this case, you need to postpone the remaining issues until a later release.

You can then use Jira to generate the release notes. This is done Road Map --> Release --> Summary --> Release Notes (next to "Filters").

The release notes need to be pasted into;

river/trunk/src-doc/static/release-notes/index.html

Update Version Numbers

There are version numbers in the following places that need to be updated with the new release number/name.

com.sun.jini.constants.VersionConstants.java (SERVER_VERSION)
river/trunk/src-doc/static/release-notes/index.html (version number)

In the above HTML page, there is also a section on "changes by component" which should also be updated. This should be easy to do by referring to the Jira-generated release notes.
