RELEASING.md

A JSONry release is a tagged git sha and a GitHub release. To cut a release:

1. Create a tag with a version number, e.g. git tag 'v1.3.0'
2. Push the tag, e.g. git push --tags
3. Use git log --pretty=format:'- %s [%h]' HEAD...vX.X.X to list all the commits since the last release

• Categorize the changes into
  • Breaking Changes (requires a major version)
  • New Features (minor version)
  • Fixes (fix version)
  • Maintenance (which in general can be omitted)

4. Create a new GitHub release with the version number as the tag (e.g. v1.3.0).
5. Use the changes generated in a previous step (3) as a basis for the release notes.
