Regular updates

When a new authority distribution is available, download it and add it to the source folder and at the same time delete the existing file from this location. There can only be one file in the source folder at a time.

After updating the sources, run the script found in bin/generate-output-files.py to regenerate the output file.

Commit everything to GitHub. If ready to make a release, make sure to update the version in pyproject.toml, push to GitHub and then create a GitHub release. The GitHub Action will then create the distribution files and upload to PyPI.

Release naming should follow a pseudo-semantic versioning format: <YEAR>.<MONTH>.<PATCH>. Alpha and beta releases can be flagged by appending -alpha.<number> and -beta.<number>.

For example, the April 2021 release is named 2021.4 with the associated tag v2021.4.
