This should only be done by the Hall D software coordinator
1) Start with the previous release, usually linked to version.xml. Increment one of the numbers (main, update, bugfix), e.g.:
cp version_5.5.0.xml version_5.6.0.xml
2) Edit file, date and description of the xml file:
<gversions file="version_5.6.0.xml" date="2022-04-07"> <description>Update releases of halld_recon, halld_sim, hdgeant4, and hd_utilities.</description>
3) Create new releases of the relevant packages on github. The simplest way is to go through this link:
https://halldweb.jlab.org/halld_versions/version.xml
4) Substitute new releases in xml file, removing eventual dirtags
<package name="halld_recon" version="4.36.0"/>
