    VERSION needs to be formatted following the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH convention
    (we need to follow this convention to be able to retrieve versioned scripts)
 
-Simple check list for release from AllenNLP repo: https://github.com/allenai/allennlp/blob/master/setup.py
-
 To create the package for pypi.
 
-0. Prerequisites:
-   - Dependencies:
-     - twine: "pip install twine"
-   - Create an account in (and join the 'evaluate' project):
-     - PyPI: https://pypi.org/
-     - Test PyPI: https://test.pypi.org/
-
-1. Change the version in:
+1. Open a PR and change the version in:
    - __init__.py
    - setup.py
+   Then merge the PR once it's approved.
 
-2. Commit these changes: "git commit -m 'Release: VERSION'"
-
-3. Add a tag in git to mark the release: "git tag VERSION -m 'Add tag VERSION for pypi'"
+3. Add a tag "vVERSION" (e.g. v0.4.1) in git to mark the release : "git tag vVERSION -m 'Add tag vVERSION for pypi'"
    Push the tag to remote: git push --tags origin main
+   Then verify that the 'Python release' CI job runs and succeeds.
 
-4. Build both the sources and the wheel. Do not change anything in setup.py between
-   creating the wheel and the source distribution (obviously).
-
-   First, delete any "build" directory that may exist from previous builds.
-
-   For the wheel, run: "python setup.py bdist_wheel" in the top level directory.
-   (this will build a wheel for the python version you use to build it).
-
-   For the sources, run: "python setup.py sdist"
-   You should now have a /dist directory with both .whl and .tar.gz source versions.
-
-5. Check that everything looks correct by uploading the package to the pypi test server:
-
-   twine upload dist/* -r pypitest --repository-url=https://test.pypi.org/legacy/
-
-   Check that you can install it in a virtualenv/notebook by running:
-   pip install huggingface_hub fsspec aiohttp
-   pip install -U tqdm
-   pip install -i https://testpypi.python.org/pypi evaluate
-
-6. Upload the final version to actual pypi:
-   twine upload dist/* -r pypi
-
-7. Fill release notes in the tag in github once everything is looking hunky-dory.
+4. Fill release notes in the tag in github once everything is looking hunky-dory.
 
-8. Change the version in __init__.py and setup.py to X.X.X+1.dev0 (e.g. VERSION=1.18.3 -> 1.18.4.dev0).
-   Then push the change with a message 'set dev version'
+5. Open a PR to change the version in __init__.py and setup.py to X.X.X+1.dev0 (e.g. VERSION=0.4.1 -> 0.4.2.dev0).
+   Then merge the PR once it's approved.
