Preparing a new release

Brew doesn't do much for you for crafting a new release, so most of this is done manually. When a new release of Myst is ready to go out, these are the steps to updating this Tap to make the release available to users:

• Copy the current myst-lang.rb file into an archive file with the old version number (e.g. [email protected])
• Update the old formula class name to include the old version number (e.g. class MystLangAT030 < Formula)
• Create the tag on the main Myst repository (e.g. git tag v0.4.0)
• Get the archive URL from GitHub's releases page (e.g. "https://github.com/myst-lang/myst/archive/v0.4.0.tar.gz") and replace that in the formula file.
• Download a copy of the archive to a local .tar.gz.
• Run shasum -a 256 /path/to/archive.tar.gz to generate the shasum for the archive.
• Take the new shasum and replace it in the formula file.
• Commit and push to this repository.

After that, try running brew upgrade myst-lang and you should get the new version.
