Before merging:

• [x] Major and minor releases: Update package versions in requirements.txt, requirements-dev.txt, requirements-doc.txt, requirements-min.txt, and setup.py as needed
• [x] Check legal file dates and information in Legal.txt, license.txt, README.rst, docs/source/conf.py, and any other locations as needed
• [x] Update setup.py as needed
• [x] Update README.rst as needed
• [x] Update changelog (set release date) in CHANGELOG.md and any other docs as needed
• [x] Run tests locally including gallery tests, and inspect all warnings and outputs (pytest && python test_gallery.py)
• [x] Test docs locally by going into the docs directory and running the following: make clean && make html
• [x] Push changes to this PR and make sure all PRs to be included in this release have been merged
• [x] Check that the readthedocs build for this PR succeeds (build latest to pull the new branch, then activate and build docs for new branch): https://readthedocs.org/projects/hdmf-zarr/builds/

After merging:

1. Create release by following steps in docs/source/make_a_release.rst or use alias git pypi-release [tag] if set up
2. After the CI bot creates the new release (wait ~10 min), update the release notes on the GitHub releases page with the changelog
3. Check that the readthedocs "latest" and "stable" builds run and succeed
4. Update conda-forge/hdmf_zarr-feedstock with the latest version number and SHA256 retrieved from PyPI > HDMF > Download Files > View hashes for the .tar.gz file. Re-render as needed

105 documents the issue of the gallery tests not passing. I know we mentioned prior of not releasing a version with errors and from my understanding getting this fixed was to be a "project" on dev days. How do you want to proceed in terms of a release? @oruebel

As far as I recall, the PR that introduces the error is concerned with ExternalResources and updating HDMF, but has not been merged yet, correct? If that is the case, then I would recommend we move forward with the release as is, without merging that PR, so we can get the other features that have already been merged released. We can then work on finishing that PR during the dev days.
