GitHub release

The administrator should follow the GitHub instructions to draft a new release. These can currently be found at https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-releases.

Both the version and title will be of the form vX.Y.Z, for example, v0.5.0.

From version 1.0, these should follow semantic versioning, where X/Y/Z are major, minor, and patch revisions.

Prior to version 1.0, the second number may include breaking API changes, and the third number may include minor additions.

The release notes should be included in the description. These should already be in docs/release_notes.rst. The release notes should be copied only for the current release, starting from the date. Hint: To see example of raw input, click edit next to one of the previous releases.

Note that unlike some platforms (e.g., PyPI), GitHub releases can be edited or deleted once created.
