Checklist: Before You Release (dcppc dev branch)

Work on the dev branch to implement all of the features. Then implement a feature freeze during the release period.

Work on the dev branch to accomplish the following:

• does it build/run without errors?
• can you install the requirements in a virtualenv with pip?
• do the tests pass? (you do have tests, right?)
• does mkdocs build work? (you do have documentation, don't you?)
• has the readme been given a once-over?
• have any version number references been incremented?
• have the quick start instructions been tested?

Checklist: Pre-Release (prereleases branch)

• create a prereleases/vXYZ branch

if there is a Dockerfile:

• does the Dockerfile use the correct base container image? does it use correct branches of any git repos?
• can docker container be created with build container shell script?
• can simple python-alpine Dockerfile install the requirements in requirements.txt? (test install dockerfile)
• can the tests be run in a docker container? (test test dockerfile)

git:

• are the submodules up to date?
• do the submodules use correct protocol? (https/git)
• any large files? can they be slimmed?

• create tags for new version, from release branch head
• push tags
• test download/install release from github into a virtualenv
• build and upload distributions to pypi
