Steps to release a new version of FlatBuffers to github: Steps to release a new version of FlatBuffers to github:
## Flatc and C++
1. Update version in `include/flatbuffers/base.h`
1. Update version in `CMake/Version.cmake`
1. Update version-check in generated `include/flatbuffers/reflection_generated.h`
This is needed because we have a catch-22 where we use this generated file within flatc, which makes that file. But it will complain that the flatbuffer libraries mismatch.
1. Rebuild `flatc`
1. Run `scripts/generated_code.py`
1. Update `CHANGELOG.md`
1. Make a git commit with a message: `Flatbuffers Version X.X.X`
1. Go through the normal PR process to get the commit submitted
1. Generate an annotated tag for the release. Make sure this is done directly in the flatbuffer repo and not via a pull request.
`git tag -a -m "Flatbuffers Version X.X.X" vX.X.X`
1. Push the tag to github (again not via a PR).
`git push origin v.X.X.X`
1. The result should be a tagged commit at the following: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/tags
