Releasing an astroid version

So, you want to release the X.Y.Z version of astroid ?

Process

1. Check if the dependencies of the package are correct
2. Install the release dependencies pip3 install pre-commit tbump
3. Bump the version and release by using tbump X.Y.Z --no-push.
4. Check the result (Do git diff vX.Y.Z-1 ChangeLog in particular).
5. Push the tag.
6. Release the version on GitHub with the same name as the tag and copy and paste the appropriate changelog in the description. This trigger the pypi release.

Post release

Back to a dev version

Move back to a dev version with tbump:

tbump X.Y.Z+1-dev0 --no-tag --no-push # You can interrupt during copyrite
git commit -am "Upgrade the version to x.y.z+1-dev0 following x.y.z release"

Check the result and then upgrade the main branch

Milestone handling

We move issue that were not done in the next milestone and block release only if it's an issue labelled as blocker.
