Steps detailing a patch release (using rel-410 (version 4.1) is given as an example):

1. Ensure the database changes have been added to the sql/patch.sql file (and tests that it works)

2. Increment the $v_realpatch variable in the version.php file

3. Build a zip file of all files that have been modified in rel-410 (since the official 4.1 release)

4. Release the zip file

Place in 'Patches' tracker on sourceforge with description (Attach the zip patch file there; if file is too big (over 256 kb), then place it in the patch directory on the open-emr.org website and place a link to this in the tracker item.)
On the OpenEMR Patches download page, place the description and a link to the patch file.
Announce the release in the forums and on the Twitter Feed, on the Facebook page, and on the Google+ page.
