• Update setup.py with that number

Smoke-testing

  $ python setup.py install --user
  

• Check ~/.local/bin/generate-dashboard for the update version.

• Try the example on README.

Releasing

• Head to https://github.com/weaveworks/grafanalib/releases/new and create the release there.

• Wait for GitHub Actions to complete the build and release.

• Confirm on https://pypi.org/project/grafanalib/ that the release made it there.

Follow-up
