Making a release¶
Update docs:

$ git shortlog -ns 0.998..
edit the doc/conf.py to increase the version number
edit the doc/themes/scikit-learn/layout.html to change the ‘News’ entry of the front page.
Update the version number in sklearn/__init__.py, the __version__ variable
Create the tag and push it:
$ git tag 0.999 $ git push origin --tags
create tarballs:
Wipe clean your repo:
$ git clean -xfd
Register and upload on PyPI:
$ python setup.py sdist register upload
Push the documentation to the website (see README in doc folder)
Build binaries using dedicated CI servers by updating the git submodule reference to the new scikit-learn tag of the release at:
https://github.com/MacPython/scikit-learn-wheels
Once the CI has completed successfully, collect the generated binary wheel packages and upload them to PyPI by running the following commands in the scikit-learn source folder (checked out at the release tag):
$ pip install -U wheelhouse_uploader $ python setup.py sdist fetch_artifacts upload_all
