 Release Process
 ---------------
 
-#. Make sure there is a version block for this release in ``docs/news.rst``
-   that mentions all the new user-facing changes
-#. Add the version tag to the repository using ``git tag X.Y.Z``
-   (e.g. ``git tag 1.0.1``)
-#. Push the new tag to Github using ``git push --tags``

-When a new tag is pushed to Github, Travis will pick it up and automatically
-build the sdist and wheel and upload them to PyPI.
+To make a new release, edit ``docs/news.rst`` and add a new version and replace
+``**UNRELEASED**`` with a release version and date, like
+``**X.Y.Z (20XX-YY-ZZ)**``. The github workflow will pick up the new version
+and create a new tag, which will then trigger the release workflow which will
+package the project and publish the resulting artifacts to PyPI.
