Here is what I do these days for 1.4 releases.
About version number: note that, with autoconf at least, if you name
it anything else that 1.5.0svn or 1.5.0preN, the build system will
default to configuring in stable mode (without debug and assertions).
This may or may not be what you expect. It may be time to change that
before release.

---------------------------------------
Things to do to make a new release
- in the source:
* update version and date in configure.ac
* update version in po/postats.sh
* update ANNOUNCE; when this is OK, copy the start of the
announcement to NEWS
* export to some directory
rm -rf /local/lasgoutt/lyx-export
svn export . /local/lasgoutt/lyx-export
* run ./autogen.sh
cd /local/lasgoutt/lyx-export
./autogen.sh
* configure in some directory
cd /local/lasgoutt/build-export
../lyx-export/configure --with-frontend=qt
* make a distribution.
make dist
* create a patch between distribution and previous
diff -urN -x .svn -x version.C lyx-1.x.(y-1) lyx-1.x.y >patch
* read the patch and check that it makes sense
* update 1.x.y.desc and add ANNOUNCE to it
