* __DaRUS citation:__ To cite the release, we create a doi using [DaRUS](https://darus.uni-stuttgart.de/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.18419/darus-3405), and a tarball of the software.
Bernd has the account details and can help you with this. It would be helpful to prepare a list of those
who should be included in the citation as authors beforehand.

- If it is not, click on `save again` on the [code page of softwareheritage](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/dumux/dumux&snapshot=50fb10d5d33803233d6475cf1fab33b088c8a143)
- Upload a tar.gz file of the DuMux release to DaRUS

- text formatting in DaRUS is done via html syntax
* __Updating badges:__ Update the DOI badge (when release is published on DaRUS) and the `archived` badge in the dumux repository. You can access and change the badges in the browser using gitLab: "Settings->General->Badges".

* __Write release email:__ Write an email to dumux@listserv.uni-stuttgart.de, include any noteworthy
