## Releasing a new version
1. Update the version number in `PFERD/version.py`
2. Update `CHANGELOG.md`
3. Commit changes to `master` with message `Bump version to <version>` (e. g. `Bump version to 3.2.5`)
4. Create annotated tag named `v<version>` (e. g. `v3.2.5`)
- Copy changes from changelog
- Remove `#` symbols (which git would interpret as comments)
- As the first line, add `Version <version> - <date>` (e. g. `Version 3.2.5 - 2021-05-24`)
- Leave the second line empty
5. Fast-forward `latest` to `master`
6. Push `master`, `latest` and the new tag
Example tag annotation:
```
Version 3.2.5 - 2021-05-24

- Support for proper config files
