Releasing hnswlib

1. run export GPG_TTY=$(tty)

2. update the version number to the release version in every pom

3. commit

   git commit -am "Prepare release"
   

4. tag the release

   git tag v0.x.x HEAD
   

5. ./crossbuild.sh clean deploy -DperformRelease=true

6. release the pyspark module with

   rm -rf build ; rm -rf dist ; rm -rf pyspark_hnsw.egg-info ; python2.7 setup.py clean --all bdist_wheel && python2.7 -m twine upload dist/* rm -rf build ; rm -rf dist ; rm -rf pyspark_hnsw.egg-info ; python3.7 setup.py clean --all bdist_wheel && python3.7 -m twine upload dist/*

7. update the version number to the development version version in every pom to the new development version

8. update the version in hnswlib-pyspark/setup.py

9. commit

   git commit -am "Next development version"
