Release Process for PyLink

This document documents the steps that I (James) use to release updates to PyLink.

1. Draft the next release’s changelog in RELNOTES.md

2. Bump the version in the VERSION file.

3. Commit the changes to VERSION and RELNOTES.md, and tag+sign this commit as the new release. Do not prefix version numbers with “v”.

4. Publish the release via the GitHub release page, using the same changelog content as RELNOTES.md.

5. For stable releases, also upload to PyPI: python3 setup.py sdist upload PyPI uploads are handled automatically via Travis-CI.
