Release Checklist

Looking for the latest Prefect 2 release? Prefect 2 and Prefect Cloud 2 have been released for General Availability. See https://docs.prefect.io/ for details.

There are a few steps we need to take when cutting a new Prefect release; this document serves as a checklist for what needs to happen for a successful release:

• Update the CHANGELOG.md section headers
• Optionally tag a release candidate locally and push to Test PyPI
• Draft a new release in GitHub - typically we try to name them and include the changelog in the notes
• Pull the new git tag locally, rebuild the distribution archives and use twine upload dist/* to upload to PyPI
• Pushing to PyPI should trigger a PR to the prefect-feedstock conda-forge repo (although it could take hours); upon approval and merge, this will land the new release in conda-forge as well. Alternatively, you can open a PR yourself to get the ball rolling
• Lastly, archive the new tagged release API documentation

That's it!
