- tag the git repo in this style: `git tag -a cares-1_14_0` -a annotates the
  tag and we use underscores instead of dots in the version number.

- run "./maketgz 1.14.0" to build the release tarball. It is important that
  you run this on a machine with the correct set of autotools etc installed
  as this is what then will be shipped and used by most users on *nix like
  systems.

- push the git commits and the new tag

- gpg sign the tarball

- upload the resulting files to https://c-ares.haxx.se/download/

- update `ares_version.h` for the next version

in the c-ares-www repo

- edit `index.t` (version number and date),
