+Create a tag for the next release. Please respect the following
+release numbering scheme:
+
+- Major version: use this for data organisation changes (like the
+  switch to XML, or incompatible changes in the XML files like the
+  removal of a field)
+- Level 1 minor version: use this when one of the ISO lists is updated
+  or for compatible changes to the XML files, like the addition of
+  a field
+- Level 2 minor version: use this when only translations are updated.
+  If you increment the Level 1 minor version, omit the second level
+  minor version. Example: 1.2.5 -> 1.3, not 1.3.0
