Release Checklist

• Check-out a fresh copy of master
• Increase the version in src/python/package/setup.py, commit and push the change
• Run make run_all_cpp_tests to run all the tests for the C++ part
• Run make random_benchmark followed by ./random_benchmark to check that running times are sane
• Run make python_package_install within a fresh environment to check that the Python package builds and installs smoothly
• Go to src/python/test and run py.test in there
• Go to src/python/benchmark and run python random_benchmark.py to check that the Python running times are sane (for the linear scan performance, having NumPy being tied with a good BLAS implementation is crucial)
• Update the documentation as follows
  • Connect to ilyaraz.org
  • Run source ~/env/bin/activate
  • Update the FALCONN repo in ~/FALCONN
  • Run make python_package_install there (requires lots of time, since it swaps like crazy) and check that the new version of the package has been installed
  • Go to ~/website and run ./build.sh followed by ./deploy.sh
• Create a release on GitHub
• Create a release on PyPi using this link (make sure pypandoc is installed!)
