- update version in version.txt (following semver)
- run update_stuff.py from the scripts folder
- regenerate test output (actually only the `version` test's output changes and that was done to maximize code coverage - might remove it to simplify the release process)
    - first run cmake with -DDOCTEST_TEST_MODE=COLLECT
    - then run ctest & git add the changed and/or new .txt files
- run changelog generator (WIP)
- commit in dev
- rebase dev onto master (linear history instead of merge commits)
- push all branches (git push --all)
- create github release with the same semver tag as the changelog
    - copy the text from a previous release and update the version numbers & dates
- OPTIONAL: update packages (I've never done it)
