* create a release branch ('vX.Y.Zrel'). In the release branch...
* make sure version number in setup.py and netCDF4/_netCDF4.pyx are up to date
(in _netCDF4.pyx, change 'Version' in first line of docstring at top of file,
and __version__ variable). If netcdftime module has any updates,
increment __version__ in netcdftime/_netcdftime.pyx. Regenerate netcdftime/_netcdftime.c
from _netcdftime.pyx as needed.
* make sure include/constants.pyx has all zeros, then generate C source by
running 'cython -I../include _netCDF4.pyx' in the netCDF4 directory.
* update Changelog and README.md as needed.
* commit and push all of the above changes.
* install the module (python setup.py install), then run 'sh create_docs.sh'
to update html docs. Commit and push the update to docs/netCDF4/index.html.
* create a pull request for the release branch.
* After release branch has been merged, tag a release
git tag -a vX.Y.Zrel -m "version X.Y.Z release"
git push origin --tags
* push an empty commit to the netcdf4-python-wheels repo to trigger new builds.
* update the pypi entry, upload the macosx wheels and the windows wheels
from Christoph Gohkle's site. Lastly, create a source tarball using
'python setup.py sdist' and upload to pypi.
* update web docs by copying docs/netCDF4/index.html somewhere, switch
to the gh-pages branch, copy the index.html file back, commit and push
the updated index.html file (see README.gh-pages).
