[gnuastro-commits] master ef21ed1 2/2: Version now a variable in release-checklist.txt

[Mohammad Akhlaghi]

branch: master
commit ef21ed1a5dd76f032173008c8e6f5e7f6fe7454a
Author: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>
Commit: Mohammad Akhlaghi <address@hidden>

    Version now a variable in release-checklist.txt
    
    The version was the only wildcard in the scripts suggested in
    `doc/release-checklist.txt'. So now it is put in as a variable in the demo
    commands and the process is now completed (fully tested with the previous
    Gnuastro commit).
