Step 1: Update version

Change version in following path:

• CMakeLists.txt

• pkgconfig.mk

# version major & minor 
PKG_MAJOR = 5
PKG_MINOR = 0

# version bugfix level. Example: PKG_EXTRA = 1
PKG_EXTRA = 0

# version tag. Examples: rc1, b2, post1 - or just comment out for no tag
PKG_TAG = post1

• include/capstone/capstone.h

// Capstone API version
#define CS_API_MAJOR 5
#define CS_API_MINOR 0

// Version for bleeding edge code of the Github's "next" branch.
// Use this if you want the absolutely latest development code.
// This version number will be bumped up whenever we have a new major change.
#define CS_NEXT_VERSION 5

// Capstone package version
#define CS_VERSION_MAJOR CS_API_MAJOR
#define CS_VERSION_MINOR CS_API_MINOR
#define CS_VERSION_EXTRA 0

• bindings/python/capstone/__init__.py

# API version
CS_API_MAJOR = 5
CS_API_MINOR = 0

# Package version
CS_VERSION_MAJOR = CS_API_MAJOR
CS_VERSION_MINOR = CS_API_MINOR
CS_VERSION_EXTRA = 0
