Team, feel free to edit the top post to add/edit stuff (and add your @username tag next to it if you'd like to work on it). I'll need help reserving a DOI on Zenodo for instance.

I just noticed that https://www.pygmt.org/ currently redirects to https://www.pygmt.org/dev/. Should that be the case, or should it be redirecting to https://www.pygmt.org/latest/ or https://www.pygmt.org/v0.1.0/?

Nice catch. Addressed in #423.

Update links on the GMT website (News, Download & Documentation)

Perhaps adding news is enough. I don't think we should update the download and documentation pages for PyGMT releases.

[weiji14]

Fair enough. I was going to wait for the pygmt conda package release before we announce it on the website though.

[seisman]

The conda recipe looks good. Are we waiting for approval from someone?

Yes, the conda forge core team.

Cool, the conda-forge package is up at https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pygmt, woohoo! Really appreciate all your effort @moorepants 🙌 !!

Currently only Linux/MacOS packages with Python 3.6 and 3.7. I've just merged in conda-forge/pygmt-feedstock#1 so Python 3.8 should be available shortly.

I added the news of PyGMT v0.1.0 release to the GMT main site (GenericMappingTools/website#53), and created the 0.1 branch (https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/tree/0.1) for further bug fixes. The 0.1 branch is protected like master branch.

Commit changes to Github

I'm not sure what it means. I think we're done with the PyGMT v0.1.0 release. @weiji14 @leouieda

[weiji14]

Yep, thanks @seisman! I'll close this now. The next release will be tracked at https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/milestone/2.

[moorepants]

Thanks everyone, we are now making pygmt available on the UC Davis cluster for various geography courses. They'll be excited!
