Things to do while releasing a new version

This file is a memo for the maintainer.

0. Checks

If MozJPEG has been updated, ensure ./scripts/generate_manifest_in.sh has been run, generate an sdist package and check we are able to build a wheel from it.

1. Release

Update version number in setup.py
Edit / update changelog in README.rst
Commit / tag (git commit -m vX.Y.Z && git tag vX.Y.Z && git push && git push --tags)

2. Publish PyPI package

Publish source dist and wheels on PyPI.

→ Automated :)

3. Publish Github Release
