How to prepare a release

To prepare an ISPyB API release you need to install the package bump2version

pip install bump2version

and then, in the repository directory, run one of the following

# assuming current version is 1.2.3
bumpversion patch  # release version 1.2.4
bumpversion minor  # release version 1.3.0
bumpversion major  # release version 2.0.0

This automatically creates a release commit and a release tag. You then need to push those to the Github repository

git push; git push --tags

The release is then created by Travis and uploaded directly onto pypi.
