+=head3 bump version
+
+I<You MUST SKIP this step for RC, BLEAD-POINT, MAINT>
+
+If this was a BLEAD-FINAL release (i.e. the first release of a new maint
+series, 5.x.0 where x is even), then bump the version in the blead branch
+in git, e.g. 5.12.0 to 5.13.0.
+
+First, add a new feature bundle to F<lib/feature.pm>, initially by just
+copying the exiting entry, and bump the file's $VERSION; e.g.
+
+ "5.14" => [qw(switch say state unicode_strings)],
+ + "5.15" => [qw(switch say state unicode_strings)],
+
+Then follow the section L<"Bump the version number"> to bump the version
+in the remaining files and test and commit.
