Description

The continuous release process was established in #1124, but it doesn't fully "work" yet because we're pushing .dev releases to pypi, which means that `pip install astroquery` doesn't install the latest version of astroquery.

So, what is the appropriate way to make this a fully automated release process? Can we just drop the 'dev' from the version name? Does that break some of the astropy-helpers machinery?

Review the continuous release process established in #1124 and the astropy-helpers machinery mentioned in the issue.
