Pyface Bugfix Release 7.0.1

[kitchoi]

Target date: To be confirmed, will edit here once confirmed.

This is a bug fix release and therefore the procedure will be slightly different compared to a major/minor release.
See enthought/traitsui#933 for TraitsUI bugfix release 7.0.1.

Pre-release

• Verify PRs that need to be merged to the maintanence branch are included in the Release 7.0.1 milestone
• Create a PR with cherry picked changes and target the maint/7.0 branch, review and merge (Backport bug fixes for 7.0.1 release #562)
• Test against other ETS packages and other pyface-using projects
• Update changelog and open PR targeting maint/7.0 branch (Backport bug fixes for 7.0.1 release #562)
• Check MANIFEST and requirements are still up to date.
• Test building the documentation

Release

• Create PR targeting maint/7.0 branch. In this PR: (Bug fix release for version 7.0.1 #580 )
  - Set release to 7.0.1, and set IS_RELEASED is true; commit
  - Bump the version to 7.0.2 and set IS_RELEASED to false; commit
• From the commit at which IS_RELEASED is true and version is 7.0.1, create a release branch release/7.0.1 from the maint/7.0 branch; push (Edited post-release: in retrospect, this step may not be necessary)
• On the release commit, add an annotated tag, and push the tag
• Make PR targeting gh-pages branch: Generate documentation and copy the content to the branch. Verify that the resulting docs/index.html looks good. See Update documentation for 7.0.0 release #503 for a similar PR (Update documentation for 7.0.1 release #583)
• Install from source distribution and run tests again
• Upload to PyPI
• Test the PyPI package
• Announcement

Post-release

• Package update for enthought/free repository (for EDM)
• Backport release note and change log to master, and possibly maint/7.0 branch (Update changelog on master for 7.0.1 #578 )
