Update Zenodo archive

[Aariq]

The Zenodo archive of this repo is at version 1.7.2 and does not include all recent contributors. Not sure if maybe Zenodo—GitHub integration was broken or never set up, but it would be good to get those in sync.

Hi @Aariq , I checked the Zenodo archive for the v1.8.0 release, and it seems the archive hasn't been created yet. This suggests that the Zenodo-GitHub integration might be broken and could require a manual trigger to sync the latest release with Zenodo.

If this is set up with the Zenodo github integration, you might also try emailing their support—I've had good experiences in the past with them fixing the integration for me (e.g. when I moved a repo to a different organization and the integration stopped working correctly)

Thank you for sharing your suggestion regarding Zenodo support! @Aariq 😊
I would like to explore alternate options to resolve the issue before reaching out to the Zenodo support team. If those don’t work, I’ll proceed with contacting their support as you suggested. I’ll keep you updated on the progress.

I've made some progress; most recent upload is 1.7.1 at https://zenodo.org/records/5557914. There is some problem with 1.8.0 and I've reached out to support.

It looks like the Zenodo CFF parser is the issue. Our CITATION.CFF passes the official validator, but Zenodo's parser only allows one value for license. At least it should be easy to fix.

I have tested your file and the issue seems to be with the field "license", the backend expects it to be one value only of type "string". E.g:

license: "BSD-3-Clause"

Note that not all the fields will be ingested by Zenodo since our current implementation of the CITATION.cff standard for the github integration is still a subset of the full schema. We are working to expand it in the future, but right now not all the fields will be considered.

I have opened a pull request. I think the only way to test that it will work is to merge the PR and submit again to Zenodo. I think we should just update the 1.8.0 release since this is a minor change just related to the meta data. I can do this when somebody approves this PR.
