Release Checklist for Aphpkb

The purpose of this post is two-fold, a personal checklist for me when I'm about to release a new version of Aphpkb - there are a few minor tweaks and changes (including the new blog for announcements), and for the interested Aphpkb blog reader, a quick overview of the steps I will make to release a new version.

This checklist is also an indication I will be releasing soon.
