= Publishing files =

Naturally, after all the work that's gone into a release, it's likely that you'll want to make your software available. One way to distribute your software through Launchpad is to make its files available for direct download.

First up, you need to record the [:Projects/SeriesReleasesMilestones#releases:release] in Launchpad. Next you need to make sure your files fall into one of the following categories:

 * code release tarball
 * installer files
 * README or other documentation
 * changelog file
 * release notes.
 
Each individual file must be no more than 60 MB and you must be the:

 * project owner
 * project driver
 * or relevant series driver.
 
To upload a file, visit the release's overview page and click ```Add download file``` in the ```Actions``` menu.

= Downloading files =

To download a project's files, visit its overview page and click ```Download project files``` in the Actions menu.

Files are grouped by series (major lines of development) and then by release. An MD5 checksum and the GPG signature of the uploader - where they've made it available - are available for each file.

Keeping people up to date with your project's news is an important way of building community around and interest in your project. Launchpad's [:Projects/Announcements:project announcements] let you publish news both on Launchpad and more widely by Atom feed.		 #redirect Projects/FileDownloads
