After every regular git push, artifacts are deployed to OSS Sonatype snapshot server as snapshots.

In order to create a new release, you need to create a tag with release number (please use semantic versioning). Deploy script will automatically set version in pom to the one specified in tag before deployment.

For example:
If you git tag 1.1.1 and git push --tags afterwards, you will have 1.1.1 version of your library available at Maven Central.

Note: after releasing artifact will be available in several hours in Maven Central (https://search.maven.org/), but synchronization with Maven repo (https://mvnrepository.com/) could take more time

!Important: Create a separate branch for every release - this will help to do hot fixes in old versions only

Upon tag creation, a travis job will be launched to verify your release.
