@leouieda I would need for you to reserve a DOI on Zenodo for this release. We should look into how we can transfer the ownership of our Zenodo entries to the Fatiando account in Zenodo.

Feel free to make the Zenodo release whenever you can. I left some checkboxes unmarked so you can use them to guide you.
