New Release

To make a new ARC release, do the following:

• On GitHub, click releases
  • give the tag version, e.g., 1.1.0
  • give a release title, e.g., ARC Version 1.1.0
  • Give a full description of changes since the last release, including PR numbers. Use the following headers to separate changes: New features, Bug Fixes, Documentation, Miscellaneous, Backward incompatible changes, New dependencies.
  • (don't actually release yet...)
• Create a new branch (e.g., release1.1.0), and commit the following changes:
  • Increase the version in common.py (VERSION)
  • Add the above release notes to the release.rst in the documentation (note that rst requires line breaks between different list levels). Under ARC/docs type make html and make sure all changes look good.
• Push the branch, wait for tests, merge.
• Publish the release on GitHub (should include the latest version increase commit)
• If you'd like to issue a new DOI for this release, go to zenodo.org, click Upload, review the changes (make sure all authors appear and their names and ORCIDs are correct) and click Publish.
• Increase the version in README.md (in the release badge link) and update the DOI badge link.
• Modify the How to cite ARC section of the documentation, possibly as a new PR.
