@Esteban82 and @PaulWessel, what do you think for the timing on releasing the 2.0.2 patch release? Are there any remaining issues to be tackled first (e.g., #38)?

[PaulWessel]

@Esteban82 can merge #38 I think, should have no visual effect on results.

@Esteban82 and @PaulWessel, what do you think for the timing on releasing the 2.0.2 patch release? Are there any remaining issues to be tackled first (e.g., #38)?

No. The only thing to be fixed was the Russian islands (already done).
I think it is better to make this release before #38. As Paul said it has no visual improvement and the release will have the same size. We later can, with no rush, see #38.

[Esteban82]

I think we can go on with this. The changelog is updated.

[PaulWessel]

OK, I will work through this later today. Have 3 zooms on the agenda and family visitors...

[PaulWessel]

Working through the release steps now.

Hi @meghanrjones and @Esteban82, I have released DCW 2.0.2. Two questions though:

1. Not sure where MD5 numbers actually go for this?
2. Where did we place the update-data server script? I have already forgotten...

[maxrjones]

1. I think this will be the first time we post the MD5 numbers. They could go in the release notes under the description.
2. It needs to get merged from Add option to update files on the GMT dataserver #29. There's currently a conflict with the config file that will need to be resolved before merging.

[PaulWessel]

OK, updated MD5 and fixed conflict in #29. I think I got this to the point that it worked for me but not for you, so I should be able to execute it, yes?

[maxrjones]

Great, thanks. Yes, it should work.

[PaulWessel]

I think all tasks have been completed. Thanks @Esteban82 and @meghanrjones. Let me know if we forgot something (and can then add to the checklist). I think with this release it is safe to work on the 2.1.0 version which will require the next GMT release to take advantage of the features.

[maxrjones]

Great, thanks Paul and Federico!

Can you also provide the sha256sum? It's used in many other distributors like conda-forge and homebrew.
