BurnMan release checklist

[bobmyhill]

This checklist should be completed for every release of BurnMan WARNING: New releases are automatically uploaded to PyPi. Make sure everything is right before you make the new release.

• [ ] Check new version can be used non-locally (python -m pip install ., then run from another directory)
• [ ] Create a new branch (burnman-Major.Minor)
  • [ ] Bump version number in new branch (in pyproject.toml)
  • [ ] Update changelog.txt with major changes since the last release.
  • [ ] Update pyproject.toml (if necessary, probably only Python versions need checking (as we've checked the installation works above)
• [ ] Prepare release on zenodo
  • [ ] Open zenodo (https://zenodo.org/record/7080174)
  • [ ] Start new version, reserve DOI (currently at the top of Basic Information)

  • [ ] Make release on Github using upstream burnman-Major.Minor branch
