-1. h5vers will run autogen.sh, which can change the generated files if certain code files have been changed since the files generated by autogen.sh were committed on the release branch.  This should be checked by running `git status --ignored;`, then running autogen.sh, then repeating `git status --ignored;`. If there are modified files from either git status command, they should be committed (or deleted if there are backup files or an autom4te.cache directory), and at least minimal testing should be done to see that the software is still good with the changes.

 2. Set version for release, removing the subrelease string, initially `$ bin/h5vers -s X.Y.Z;`. Any subsequent patch releases will need the subrelease number.
 3. Run `bin/release` (similar to 8.2) and commit all the changed files.
-4. Select release build from workflow.

 5. Review the release files in Github
 6. Edit the Github Release and change status to Release

+8. Release hdf5_plugins following the same steps.
 
 ### 10. Add the contents of the RELEASE.txt file in the release code to the HISTORY-X_Y file in the **support** branch, just below the introductory lines at the top of the HISTORY file.
