Prepare for release of nwb-schema 2.10.0
Target release date: May 7, 2026

Before merging:

  • Update requirements versions as needed
  • Update legal file dates and information in Legal.txt, license.txt, README.md, docs/format/source/conf.py,
    and any other locations as needed
  • Update README.rst as needed
  • Update the version string in docs/format/source/conf.py, core/nwb.namespace.yaml, and core/nwb.file.yaml
    (remove "-alpha" suffix)
  • Update docs/format/source/conf.py as needed
  • Update release notes (set release date) in docs/format/source/format_release_notes.rst and any other docs as
    needed
  • Test docs locally (cd docs/format; make fulldoc) and check for warnings and errors
  • Ensure PyNWB and MatNWB have branches that have passing tests when using the head of the dev branch or this
    branch of nwb-schema
  • Push changes to this PR and make sure all PRs to be included in this release have been merged (incl. Update default type map to None for TypeMap generation #663)
  • Check that the readthedocs build for this PR succeeds (see auto-triggered PR build):
    https://readthedocs.org/projects/nwb-schema/builds/

After merging:

  1. Create a new git tag. Pull the latest master branch locally, run git tag [version] --sign, copy and paste the
    release notes into the tag message, and run git push --tags.
  2. On the GitHub tags page page,
    click "..." -> "Create release" for the new tag on the right side of the page.
    Copy and paste the release notes into the release message, update the formatting if needed (reST to Markdown),
    and set the title to the version string.
  3. Check that the readthedocs "latest" and "stable" builds run and succeed. Delete the readthedocs build for the
    merged PR. https://readthedocs.org/projects/nwb-schema/builds/
  4. Update the nwb-schema submodule in the PyNWB branch corresponding to this schema version to point to the tagged
    commit.

See https://nwb-schema.readthedocs.io/en/latest/software_process.html for more details.
