Making a new Release (for maintainers)

[dbrattli]

The release process is now fully automatic using git tags, releases and GitHub actions. The version is set using dunamai that will update the version based on the recent tag during the build process.

A new release is made by pushing a new tag (e.g v4.1.0a1) and then making a release. This will trigger the build of a new package that will be uploaded to PyPI.

First make sure you have the latest code that you want to make a release of:

git pull

Then tag the latest commit and push the tag to GitHub:

git tag v4.1.0a1
git push origin v4.1.0a1

Now go to GitHub and draft a new release. This will trigger the publish script that will build the release and push the package to PyPI.
