Bump version, update NEWS.md and add a migration guide.
Update release instructions. Some actions need to be performed after the package is accepted to CRAN:
To add a new documentation version to pkgdown/versions.yml we need the version to be tagged in GitHub, which only happens after the package is accepted to CRAN.
The migration guide needs to be linked in NEWS.md after the website is updated, as a dead link will result in CRAN rejection.
Testing
I have performed a test upgrade to 1.9 of our Rhino Showcase (Appsilon/rhino-showcase#41) and all seems to work fine. Proper upgrade can happen after 1.9 is accepted to CRAN.
