commit afd3851547716edee417819c06dc2e36911ea25e

    Preparations after the release of Gnuastro 0.19
    
    Until now (in the previous commit), the source code was slightly modified
    for the official Gnuastro 0.19 release. It is now necessary to bring-back
    the developer features and make some changes for the next builds of
    Gnuastro.
    
    With this commit the following changes have been done:
    
     - NEWS: a new entry has been added for the new version.
    
     - configure.ac: the library SONAME has been incremented.
    
     - doc/gnuastro.texi: the comments reminding readers that this is a
       development documentation have been (uncommented) re-inserted.
    
     - doc/release-checklist.txt: Some post-release notes have been added for
       the webpages to update and things to do after a release.
