Release version 0.5.0

[pc494]

We're using the milestone to keep track of this release, which is coming in to aid the 0.14.0 release of pyxem.

[pc494]

I'm going to tidy this up over the coming days and release.

[hakonanes]

I can assist in reviewing where necessary.

[pc494]

had a (slight) change of heart, as these changes are not essential for the upcoming workshop (next week) I'm going to leave the actual release until May 9th, will do the cleaning as time arises.

Could opt for a minor release. If I'm not mistaken, #172 and #175 are not released but I do use them in the workflows for the orientation mapping paper. Many users might be more comfortable installing a version than a git hash. Any specific reason to hold off?

[hakonanes]

I plan to fix #183 now and wrap up #182.

Suggested release schedule:

1. Fix outstanding issues: https://github.com/pyxem/diffsims/milestone/6
2. Release 0.5.0rc1 Monday May 30 Wednesday June 1
3. Release 0.5.0 on Wednesday June 1 Friday June 3 or when upstream packages (pyxem, kikuchipy) are confirmed to work nicely with 0.5.0rc1

I can do the release.

[pc494]

Sorry, this was me being slow on the reviews. I think we're now ready for the rc?

[hakonanes]

Yes, I think so too. Will release tomorrow!

Release timeline:

• v0.5.0rc1
  • PyPI
• v0.5.0, planned for Friday June 3
  • PyPI
  • conda-forge

[hakonanes]

The upload to TestPyPI, PyPI and Zenodo worked as expected.

[hakonanes]

kikuchipy's tests run without errors with diffsims v0.5.0rc1 in both the development (CI log) and released (CI log) versions. pyxem's tests (using diffsims) run without errors with diffsims v0.5.0rc1 as well, see pyxem/pyxem#848.

Based on this it should be safe to release diffsims v0.5.0 on Friday.

This is almost there now, @hakonanes are you happy to tag a version and get everything underway?
