 ### Preparation
 - Create a new branch containing the following changes:
   - Update CHANGELOG.md with new version number and list of changes extracted from `git log --pretty=oneline --pretty=format:"- %s" <lastest_release_tag>..HEAD`.
-  - Add the new version reference in `xarray-spatial/docs/source/releases.json`
-  - Check that the new version number is included in `smv_tag_whitelist` in `docs/source/conf.py` so that the docs will be built and uploaded by CI.
 - Commit changes and submit them as a PR to the `master` branch.
 - If the CI passes OK, merge the PR.

 ### conda-forge packages
 - A bot in https://github.com/conda-forge/xarray-spatial-feedstock runs periodically to identify the new PyPI release and update the conda recipe appropriately. This should create a new PR, run tests to check that the conda build works, and automatically upload the packages to conda-forge if everything is OK. Check this works, a few hours after the PyPI release.
