Steps for creating a new release

• Consider: Check if DemARK build is failing: https://github.com/econ-ark/DemARK
• Follow the SciPy ecosystem policy on NumPy and Python dependencies, NEP 29 (loosely)
• Check that all PRs that should have "ready for next release" label do, ping authors for release notes as needed.
• Collect release notes (see below), when finalized add to CHANGELOG.md.
• Bump version number in pyproject.toml and __init__.py.
• Submit & merge PR to HARK master branch containing release notes & other above changes.
• Package with python -m build. This will create a dist/ directory with source distribution files in it.
• Get an API token from test-PyPI (only shown once), and copy-paste it in a special way on Windows
• Push to test-PyPI: twine upload --repository-url https://test.pypi.org/legacy/ dist/*
• Test the version from test-PyPI: pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple econ-ark (will need different command to test a dev release)
• Or.... try running pip install dist/econ-ark-0.10.8.tar.gz or the equivalent for the new release
• If above works, push to regular PyPI: twine upload dist/*
• Tag release on Github and create new release here: on releases page.
• Tag a release for DemARK and update binder links(README.md) and requirements.txt with the econ-ark release, create a new release here: on releases page
  • This is a two-step process. First,update the repository links to fix the version of HARK.
  • After the release, revert these links back so that DemARK floats its dependencies, especially with respect to HARK master.
• [econ-ark website binder update] TODO
• Bump up version on econ-ark-feedstock to make it available through conda package manager. It can done manually via a PR against the recipe.yml file or wait for the bot to create a new PR automatically.
