Release 0.18.0

[richardjgowers]

Time to start planning for the next release, it will have to be 0.18 because we've got more than just fixes. For now keep labelling everything as 17.1 and I'll bump all 17.1 labels to 0.18 when I finalise.

I'm going to use the milestone to keep track of issues/PRs, this should only be things which are ready to merge soon or bad enough to be blocking.

Blocking issues:

• TPRParser does not support TPX version 112 from Gromacs 2018 #1796 Should support latest Gromacs really
• different results of select_atoms in 0.17.0 and 0.16.2 #1795 This is a little worrying

Having issue #1800 for release 0.18.0 is pretty spot on.

Ok so the biopython thing (#1858) has kind of lit a fire under this, as people update their biopython then mdanalysis will break, yay.

This release is happening this weekend (14/15 April)

Ok I ran into a weird bug when building the release, so it's not out yet, I've pushed my progress to master (it's got all the contents of develop) and I'm going to try off a saner computer tomorrow.

I've got #1865 open to let the development train continue. 🚂

Ok the pip packages have been uploaded. I can't find where on the new site you can upload the tar of the docs to update our pythonhosted.org docs

This is deprecated and does not really exist anymore.

btw do only I get a warning that duecredit is not installed with the newest MDAnalysis version?

[richardjgowers]

@kain88-de nah me too

[kain88-de]

is that good for the release version?

[kain88-de]

conda build is updated. The tests should also be updated in a few minutes.

Hmph, that should not have happened. I thought we had fixed that. Open a new issue, please.

[orbeckst]

For the record, #1800 (comment) (issue #1872) was fixed in PR #1874.

[orbeckst]

push the master docs (wil do it)

EDIT: perhaps we can teach travis to push the master docs. For right now, I will do it manually with maintainer/deploy_master_docs.sh

0.18.0 docs are online – this concludes 0.18.0.
