and update the `KEYS` file there to be the same as the one used for release.
(The download page has links pointing to this file).

  * Release the Maven artifacts ([https://](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt)svn[github.com/apache](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt).org[/](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt)repos[tomcat/](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt)asf[blob/](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt)tomcat/tc7[7.0.x/](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt)trunk/[res/maven/README.txt](https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/7.0.x/res/maven/README.txt) step 4)
  * Wait for the mirrors to sync (upto 24 hours depending on what percentage of the mirrors you want to sync)
  * Update the website (e.g. [http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1500109](http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1500109))  
Note: the index and oldnews pages are sorted by date. Thus the new
announcement pops up to the top of the page.

  * Update the docs (see <http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/tomcat/site/trunk/README.txt>)
  * Announce the release (e.g. <http://markmail.org/message/xyantb3ozzmucdjt>) to users@t.a.o, cc dev@t.a.o, announce@t.a.o, announce@a.o
  * Update the release date in the changelog to the date the files were copied to the the release area in yyyy-mm-dd format.  
E.g. "released 2013-05-03" (for stable versions), "beta, 2007-02-08" (for
betas).

  * Add the version number in Bugzilla
  * Drop the artifacts for the previous release from <https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tomcat/tomcat-7/>
  * Add release data (version and date) to reporter.apache.org - <https://reporter.apache.org/addrelease.html?tomcat>
