3.1.0 (2024-03-30)

Source | Diff

This is a small release that adds two new features to the installer (install.py) and fixes two bugs. We also got a lot of contributions to remove some of the Python 2 leftovers in the code base. Lastly, we have a new documentation page dedicated to releasing packages, and some sections of the documentation were improved/clarified.

Thank you to everybody that contributed to this release!
