Speclite has the following package requirements:

• NumPy
• SciPy
• Matplotlib
• Astropy
• PyYAML

speclite is free software licensed under a 3-clause BSD-style license. For details see the licenses/LICENSE.rst file.

Please follow these instructions when creating a new tag of speclite.

1. Update docs/changes.rst: set the date corresponding to the next tag.
2. Update setup.cfg: in the [metadata] section set the version entry to the next tag (but without v).
3. Check in the changes; a git push is optional at this point.
4. Create the tag: git tag -s -m 'Tagging speclite/vX.Y.Z' vX.Y.Z. -s is optional; it adds a cryptographic signature to the tag.
5. Update docs/changes.rst: add a new entry for a future tag with (unreleased).
6. Update setup.cfg: set the version entry to the future tag plus .dev.
7. Check in the changes, then push: git push; git push --tags.
8. In your git clone, check out the tag: git co vX.Y.Z.
9. Run python setup.py sdist --format=gztar. This command will change in the future as we move away from using setup.py.
10. In the dist/ directory, inspect the .tar.gz file. Make sure the version is set properly, that all expected files are present, etc.
11. In the dist/ directory, run twine upload speclite-X.Y.Z.tar.gz.
12. In your git clone, clean up and go back to main. You don't want to accidentally edit or commit on a tag.
13. On GitHub, create a new Release corresponding to the tag. This is important: creating a release will also automatically create a new DOI on Zenodo.
14. On the main branch, update the README.rst file (this file) with the new DOI.
