+## NOTES on FEEDSTOCK VERSION UPDATE PROCESS FLOW:
+##
+## Basically, a version update works like this:
+##
+## 1. A new version is published on PyPI.
+## 2. The conda-forge bot picks this up (note, this can take
+## a couple of hours sometimes). The status page for this is:
+## conda-forge.org/status/#version_updates.
+## 3. The bot opens a new PR, updating the version and sha256.
+## If a re-rendering is required, the bot will do that too.
+## 4. The maintainer verifies that no requirements changed and
+## that the license and, if provided, URLs are still the same.
+## 5. The maintainer merges the PR.
