The biggest steps are already done. The remaining work
is quick and simple:

1) Ensure that your Git repository is configured correctly:

http://mxe.cc/#committers

2) Fast-forward the stable branch to master:

git checkout stable
git merge --ff-only master
git push

3) Announce in mailing lists, forums, etc.

Quick list that comes to my mind:

- MXE mailing list
- Freecode.com (formerly Freshmeat.net)
- MinGW mailing list
- Hacker News (news.ycombinator.com)
- ...

Note that I'll have to take care of Freecode.com
on my own, because MXE is connected to my account.
It would be great of projects could be shared among
multiple Freecode accounts, but AFAIR this is not
possible there.

Volker
