Steps to do a release

Go to the fairscale release workflow in Github actions.
In the Run Workflow dropdown, select the branch from which you wish to release. The default value is main and should be used in almost all cases.
In adherence to Semantic Versioning enter one of the following three values for Release Type:
- patch
- minor
- major
Click Run Workflow.
Verify fairscale/version.py has been updated.
Verify a new PyPI package has been published.
Verify a new Github release has been created.

Update the CHANGELOG.md

If needed, update the PyTorch versions in README.md in the Testing section.
Update fairscale/__init__.py and docs/source/conf.py for the new version number
git commit the change with title like "[chore] 0.3.1 release"
make a tag, like git tag v0.3.1
git push --tags origin [your/branch]
python3 setup.py sdist to build a new package (will be in dist/)
