Which is usually for descriptive clauses in technical writing, while
that is restrictive. Most of the time we are being being restrictive.

Doing a Release
===============
Doing a release of ``cryptography`` is a two part process.
Bumping the version number
--------------------------
The first step in doing a release is bumping the version number in the
software.
* Update the version number in ``cryptography/__about__.py``.
* Set the release date in the :doc:`/changelog`.
* Do a commit indicating this.
* Send a pull request with this.
* Wait for it to be merged.
Performing the release
----------------------
The commit that merged the version number bump is now the official release
commit for this release. You will need to have ``gpg`` installed and a ``gpg``
key in order to do a release. Once this has happened:
* Run ``invoke release {version}``.
The release should now be available on PyPI and a tag should be available in
the repository. You should verify that ``pip install cryptography`` works
correctly:
.. code-block:: pycon
>>> import cryptography
>>> cryptography.__version__
'...'
Verify that this is the version you just released.
