Here are the steps on how to make a new release.
- Create a
release-VERSION
branch fromupstream/master
. - Update
CHANGELOG.rst
. - Push a branch with the changes.
- Wait for all builds to pass and at least one approval.
- Push a tag
VERSION
toupstream
. - Merge the PR.
After this, the package should be published directly to PyPI. After a few hours, it should be picked up by the conda-forge bot, where one of the maintainers need to merge it so the package can be published (another couple of hours after that).
