Release procedure

In the following wiki page is described the process to proceed in a new release for the MART repository.

Create new release

1. Create a new branch, from main, with a naming format like release/v<X.Y.Z>.
2. Test all the tools in the new release's branch, and solve minor issues.
3. Increase the version number at pyproject.toml, and push the change.
4. If everything is working correctly, merge back into the main
5. Tag the main branch with the new version by running:

// create the tag
git tag v<X.Y.Z>

// push to tag to the repository
git push origin --tags

6. Create a new release at MART, putting as title MART v<X.Y.Z> and, in the description field, list all the changes included in this new version.
