library.
* **Version**: Edit CMakeLists.txt and remove all qualifiers (alpha, dev, ...) from the version number.
* **Changelog**: Update the changelog and generate a list of closed GitHub issues: *HOW?*
* **Changelog**: Update the changelog and generate a list of closed GitHub issues:
- Move into the ``dev/scripts`` folder and do ``python milestone2rst.py vX.X.X`` where ``vX.X.X`` is the version number of the milestone on github.
- Copy the generated text (goes to stdout) into the changelog file in ``Web/changelog.rst``
* **release branch**: Merge all code from *master* into *release* branch
* **build bots**: Force all buildbots to run on the *release* branch, this will also change the upload folder from *binaries* to *release*.
* **script**: Wait for all bots to finish and run the release script by launching the ``release version`` bot with dry run disabled and the correct version number. This uploads binaries to pypi and sourceforge.
* **clean up**: If everything went well, you can proceed:
- Tag the release branch in GitHub. It is a good idea to include the information on the closed issues here as well.
- Change the default download file on sourceforge to point to the new zipped sources.
- Copy the new Javascript library to the homepage and make a symlink to ``coolprop-latest.js``. *I think I automated this one already*
- Bump the version number in the CMake file and commit.
- Announce the new features if you like...
