• conda release (automated on conda-forge)
• tweet
• blog
• release notes page on wiki

@richardjgowers wants to make a release on the weekend.

The conda-release automated update is tricky. We need to wait for the finished pypi release to do that.

[richardjgowers]

Ok, master branch updated, tested, pushed to pypi, new dev branch started. Docs tomorrow when I'm more awake

[kain88-de]

conda forge releases are in the works

[kain88-de]

I'm working on the blog posts. I say tweet/post/mailing list update should go out once the docs are updated

[orbeckst]

I have a few minutes and I can build and publish the master docs.

[richardjgowers]

@orbeckst thanks!

[orbeckst]

Docs are up: http://docs.mdanalysis.org

[kain88-de]

release notes are also on the wiki now

[orbeckst]

I created a release for the docs https://github.com/MDAnalysis/docs/releases/tag/release-0.16.1 – instead of manually creating a zip and uploading. In the future, we should automate the doc deployment process further but for right now we are figuring out what works.

@rathann from now on we will release MDAnalysis docs from https://github.com/MDAnalysis/docs/releases

• docs are now hosted online as GitHub pages at http://docs.mdanalysis.org
• docs as zip or tar.gz file are now available from the GitHub release page https://github.com/MDAnalysis/docs/releases/ ; the file unpacks as a directory named docs-release-MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH with the top-level index.html inside the directory

I hope this will work for downstream packaging as a consistent interface (see #1353 for preceding discussion).

[richardjgowers]

@orbeckst yeah I saw that, much easier than manually zipping docs.

[richardjgowers]

alright, we're done! thanks for the help
