 The following are the steps to follow to make a new PySCIPOpt release. They should mostly be done in order. 
 - [ ] Check if [scipoptsuite-deploy](https://github.com/scipopt/scipoptsuite-deploy) needs a new release, if a new SCIP version is released for example, or new dependencies (change symmetry dependency, add support for papilo/ parallelization.. etc). And Update release links in `pyproject.toml`
 - [ ] Check if the table in [readme](https://github.com/scipopt/PySCIPOpt#installation) needs to be updated. 
-- [ ] Update version number according to semantic versioning [rules](https://semver.org/) in `_version.py`. 
+- [ ] Update version number according to semantic versioning [rules](https://semver.org/) in `src/pyscipopt/_version.py` and `setup.py`
 - [ ] Update `CHANGELOG.md`; Change the `Unlreased` to the new version number and add an empty unreleased section.
 - [ ] Create a release candidate on test-pypi by running the workflow “Build wheels” in Actions->build wheels, with these parameters `upload:true, test-pypi:true` 
 - [ ] If the pipeline passes, test the released pip package on test-pypi by running and checking that it works
