Ipython: 7.5 release schedule (subscribe to help or for updates)

Created on 21 Mar 2019  ·  5Comments  ·  Source: ipython/ipython

This is the release check list for 7.5 release. It is quite a bit of work.
There are some task that need to be done by core-dev, but many task that could be done by contributor to help. Task are not necessarily ordered and some can be done before others.

Subscribe if you want to help I'll update the issue as I'm working toward release. I usually attempt to do monthly release between 20 and 28 when I have time. The more help I get, the more probable the releases are :-)

Released a small 7.5 on PyPI. Will take care of the rest later unless anyone else is interested in helping/doing it.

See https://github.com/ipython/ipython-website/pull/147 (merged) for the website.

Also note the Wikipedia part is apparently already sorted out.
