This page lists the steps for doing a release. In principle, we follow the principles of semantic versioning, though some "features" might slip into x.y.Z releases.

Pre release

Check that all relevant issues/PR's are resolved.
Move remaining issues and PR's to newer milestone.
Write release notes.
Check docs in __init__.py, index.rst and README.md.
Test all examples on Chrome / Firefox / Edge.

Release

Bump __version__.
git tag vx.y.z
git push vx.y.z
Trigger build on conda-forge.
python setup.py register
python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel --universal upload

After release

Bump __version__ to x.y.z-dev.
Post a comment in the NEWS issue.
Spread the word.
Prepare new milestones on Github.
