Document the release steps about rp2 HOT 5 CLOSED

Good idea, I'll document that.

from rp2.

I added a section to README.dev.md, both in RP2 and in DaLI.

Thank you for adding the release creation steps. It will be helpful as the community grows.

Something I noticed is the order of updating the changelog and bumping the version. In practice, it looks like you have been running bumpversion after updating the changelog. That way, the tagged version correctly contains the change history.

I'm also wondering, would it make sense to have bumpversion automatically set the version number in the changelog while setting the version number everywhere else? Not sure if it's possible or even desirable, but I'm envisioning a static string like "In Progress", that would be changed to the new version number.

I like your attention to detail! You're right: technically bumpversion should be the last thing before push. I fixed that in the documents.

As for updating CHANGELOG.md automatically, I thought about it and I experimented with it in the very early days, but the process seemed too error-prone (it was easy to forget to use the keyword), so I decided to use the manual approach.

Closing this for now. Please reopen if you have more concerns.
