Prepare 1.5.1 release - Githubissues

rly commented 2 years ago

Summary of changes

Add @mavaylon1 to experimental namespace and credits
Adjust indentation for resources.yaml
Split release notes by namespace
Update copyright date
Update version of hdmf-common to 1.5.1.
- There are no changes to this namespace but there are changes to the hdmf-experimental namespace (0.1.0 -> 0.2.0). I increased the version of the hdmf-common namespace because in order to make a public release/tag of the repo, the version of the repo/schema must be increased, and the version of the repo/schema is currently linked to the version of the hdmf-common namespace. An alternative approach would be to use a independent versioning scheme for the repo/schema, such as 1.5.1+1.5.0-0.2.0 or resetting the version 2.0.0, but I think this would be too confusing.

[x] Update the version string in docs/source/conf.py and common/namespace.yaml to the next version with the suffix "-alpha"
[x] Add a new section in the release notes for the new version with the date "Upcoming"
[x] Add release notes for the PR to docs/source/format_release_notes.rst

This release is necessary before releasing the latest HDMF which uses the experimental features in hdmf-experimental 0.2.0

we should test this out in MatNWB prior to release. @ln-vidrio, can you take a look?
