Releasing Spot

To release a new version of Spot, you need two steps:

Update the version in master

1. Create a new branch.
2. Update the version field in package.json.
3. Run yarn prepack, which will update README.md automatically.
4. Send a PR with the changes with the PR and commit message: Release [version].
   • Example: Release v0.1.2
5. Merge the PR into master with the same squashed commit message.

Create a release on GitHub

1. Visit the releases page to see what was last announced.
2. Draft a new release:
   • Tag = v[version] (e.g. v2.1.1). Do not forget the v, which is required to trigger the NPM publish on CircleCI.
   • Title = Release v[version] (e.g. Release v2.1.1)
3. Make sure to announce major changes since the last version in the description.
4. Once published, check CircleCI to ensure publication was successful.
