How to release

Publish a release

1. Check that the milestone is complete

2. Announce on Zulip

• "We are preparing the X.Y.Z version of mathcomp-analysis, please do not merge into master until further notice."

3. Edit the changelogs

• git checkout -b changelogXYZ
• Commit message: "changelog for version X.Y.Z"

4. Update INSTALL.md if necessary (version numbers, dependencies, etc.)

5. Check the opam file if necessary (tags, authors, description, etc.)

• NB: until version 0.5.4, the unique opam file used to be generated using https://github.com/coq-community/templates (and modifications were done in meta.yml)

5. Generate the HTML documentation and PR to the MathComp website

• update the link to the last version of the doc in README.md

6. Close the milestone

7. Draft the release
