Release Checklist
******************
We have made a serious effort to automate the release of new binaries. Even
though things have become easier, there are still many things to remember.
Here is your new best friend, a checklist that helps you to keep track of all
the small things that have to be done when releasing a new version of the CoolProp
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?*
* **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...
That's all folks.
