Releasing

Releases are made manually by maintainers through GitHub. Version tags follow semantic-versioning conventions with a v prefix, for example v1.2.3.

Generating release notes from Pull Requests

A markdown changelog that includes the contributors and links to changes can be generated automatically through the lerna-changelog tool.

1. You will need a GitHub Personal Access Token with public_repo permissions.
2. Review all merged PRs since the last release to ensure that they are appropriately labelled with one of the following labels.
   • Type: Breaking Change 💥
   • Type: Enhancement ✨
   • Type: Bug 🐛
   • Type: Chore 🧼
   • Type: Documentation 📝

Note that Type: Styling and Type: Feature Request are not used, you should use Type: Enhancement instead.

3. Run the following command from the root folder of an up-to-date local clone of this repository to generate the markdown content.

GITHUB_AUTH=[YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN] npm run changelog:unreleased

4. Copy the markdown output from the terminal to the GitHub release editor.
