How to Create a New Release

1. Navigate to the “Actions” tab in the MatNwb repository on GitHub.

2. Click “Run workflow”, then: - Enter the desired version number in major.minor.patch format (e.g., 2.8.0). - Click the Run workflow button to start the process.

3. Monitor the workflow as it runs across multiple MATLAB and OS configurations. The workflow is successful if: - The version string is valid. - All tests pass successfully.

4. Confirm the draft release once the workflow completes: - A new tag (matching your version number) is pushed to the repository. - A draft release is automatically generated with updated badges and the revised Contents.m file.

5. (Optional) Finalize the release by editing the draft release in GitHub’s “Releases” section, adding any additional details, and clicking “Publish release”.
