I have a question about versioning. On GitHub, I can add a version number to my release of the master branch. This will then become the version of the package _and_ the version of the documentation that `Documenter.jl` creates. Correct?
Then, there is `project.toml` where I can enter a version number _manually_. Arguably, the version from `project.toml` _should_ be identical with the version of my latest release of the master branch. And I have to keep track of this myself, correct?
Does that mean the following: before I create a release on GitHub to version `vX.Y.Z`, I should add `version = "vX.Y.Z"` manually to the `project.toml`, and then push it to the master branch?

Working out the exact process for this is WIP, see
[https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/849](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/849)
[https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/351](https://github.com/JuliaLang/Pkg.jl/issues/351)
In the meantime, I think the best course is to just omit the `version` from the project file.

One option is to

but otherwise you have to update it. This consistency is actually checked now when you register a package.

So the two options are:
1. omit the `version` entry in `projec.toml`, or
2. update `project.toml` first, and _then_ release.

Correct.

Do these suggestions still hold? Because from [https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/Registrator.jl) I understand that the `version` field of Project.toml _must_ be set; so option 2 seems the only viable.

I agree. With the new `Registrator`, you set the version field in the `project.toml` to the desired version.
