RELEASING.md

1. Open CHANGELOG.md and summarize the changes made since the last release (hopefully better than the individual commit messages). The history can be grabbed with a simple git command (assuming the last version was 1.3.0:

    $ git log --pretty=format:'  * %s' v1.3.0..HEAD
   

2. Edit the version in lib/webmachine/version.rb according to semantic versioning rules.

3. Commit both files.

    $ git add CHANGELOG.md lib/webmachine/version.rb
    $ git commit -m "chore(release): version $(ruby -r ./lib/webmachine/version.rb -e "puts Webmachine::VERSION")" && git push
   

4. Release the gem.

    $ bundle exec rake release
   

5. If this is a new major or minor release, push a new stable branch, otherwise merge the commit into the stable branch (or master, depending on where you made the commit).

    $ git push origin HEAD:1.3-stable
    # or
    $ git checkout 1.3-stable; git merge master; git push origin; git checkout master
   

6. YOU'RE DONE!
