Release process

1. Update and release extensions
   • Ancient extension (MIxS-MInAS/extension-ancient)
   • Radiocarbon dating extension (extension-radiocarbon-dating)
2. Transfer extension updates to MInAS combinations (minas-combinations)
3. Release MInAS combinations
4. Merge all MInAS schemas with latest MIxS checklist release to make MInAS checklists (MIxS-MInAS)
   • Ancient extension (MIxS-MInAS/extension-ancient)
   • Radiocarbon dating extension (MIxS-MInAS/extension-radiocarbon-dating)
   • MInAS combinations (MIxS-MInAS/minas-combinations)
   • MIxS checklists (GenomicsStandards Consortium/mixs)
5. Release MInAS checklists (MIxS-MInAS/minas)
6. Update Data Harmonizer (MIxS-MInAS/MInAS-DataHarmonizer) with latest MInAS checklists
