Releasing

All ongoing development is done on the next branch. When preparing for a release, we'll create a release branch which will eventually be merged into master. This way, what's on master is always what's published on npm.

Release management is currently a manual process, to be performed by core team members only. Here's the process:

1. Create a release branch, usually based on next.

2. Open a pull request for release -> master

3. Write the release notes in the PR description.

4. Run yarn bump to increment the version number. Take care to follow semver.

5. Tag the release with git tag vX.X.X (using the correct version number).

6. Push the release commit AND tag: git push --follow-tags

7. Publish each package (in ./packages) to npm using the script below.

8. Create a new release on GitHub and copy the release notes there.

cd packages/react-async
npm publish pkg
cd ../react-async-devtools
npm publish pkg

Take care to publish the pkg directory!
