This document describes the steps a maintainer of this project generally takes in
order to publish a newer version of node-soap.
- Pull Requests that alter, add, or correct functionality have a single commit.
- All commit messages are descriptive.
- Maintainers spend little time looking at git history to update HISTORY.md.
- Checkout the commit that you would like to publish. This is usually accomplished
with
git checkout master. - Run
git log --oneline - Copy the commit messages above the last release commit message into History.md.
- Consolidate the commit messages:
- Remove any futile commits I.E. "Removing white space"
- Remove Pull Request merge commits. In some cases, you may need to reference the issue in order to get the commit message for that Pull Request.
- Prefix commit messages with "Enhancement", "Fixed", "Deprecated" and so forth accordingly.
- Reword line items as necessary.
- Update package.json to the appropriate version for the release.
- Commit your changes to master and push them up to github.
- Use the github interface to create a tag.
- Use existing release notes as a reference when adding the release notes to github.
npm publish.
