 can understand the PR data github sends to it. Originally PR #1603 (ee64e099e0)
 implemented this capability. Also we added a new scheduler to exclusively filter
 PRs. and the 'pullrequest' builder to rebase the PR on top of master and test it.

+nighthly release
+================
+
+The nightly release process is done by buildbot, running a DinD container that downloads
+the docker repository and builds the release container. The resulting
+docker binary is then tested, and if everything is fine the release is done.
+
+Building the release DinD Container
+-----------------------------------
+
+# Log into docker-ci
+ssh ubuntu@docker-ci.dotcloud.com
+cd /data/docker/testing/nightlyrelease
+# Add release_credentials.json as specified in ./Dockerfile
+cat  > release_credentials.json << EOF
+EOF
+sudo docker build -t dockerbuilder .
+# Now that the container is built release_credentials.json is not needed anymore
+git checkout release_credentials.json
