    - Make sure to keep the values in configure.ac and src/clientversion.h the same. The variables are prefixed wth an underscore in configure.ac
  - Run ./contrib/devtools/gen-manpages.sh, commit + push results
    - PROTIP: Man page creation must be done after updating the version number and recompiling and before Debian package creation
- - Update checkpoints in src/chainparams.cpp via contrib/checkpoints.pl
+ - Update checkpoints in src/chainparams.cpp via util/checkpoints.pl
    - checkpoints.pl will just generate the data you need, it must be manually copied into the correct place
    - Checkpoint are a list of block heights and block hashes that tell a full node the correct block history of the blockchain
    - Checkpoints make block verification a bit faster, because nodes can say "is this block a descendant of a checkpoint block" instead of doing full consensus checks, which take more time
