time for a new version?

[hydrargyrum]

It's been more than a year since last release, and there have been significant fixes since then, for example https://github.com/vstinner/hachoir/commit/b547efac6905103b776d4de8142195950b804c30. Maybe it's time for a release please?

Thanks! I’m happy to see a new release made. At some point maybe I should learn how to do releases…On Dec 12, 2023, at 3:00 AM, Victor Stinner @.***> wrote: Ok, I released Hachoir 3.3: Changelog. cc @nneonneo

I wrote instructions in setup.py. Tell me if you need permissions. Here the most difficult part was to fill the ChangeLog was not updated for one year.

I used git log 3.2.0.. --oneline --reverse command, but I edit the Changelog to categorize changes, add context, mention the parser, etc. It's a manual work which cannot be automated ;-) The best is to fill the Changelog at each change.
