+# Instructions for making a release
+
+1. Change the version number in `package.json`. Run the following command in the package root directory, replacing <update_type> with one of the semantic versioning release types (prerelease, prepatch, preminor, premajor, patch, minor, major):
+
+```
+npm version <update_type> --preid pre --no-git-tag-version
+```
+
+`--preid` specifies which suffix to use in the release such as `pre`, `next`, `beta`, `rc`, etc.
+
+`prepatch`, `preminor`, and `premajor` start a new series of pre-releases while bumping the patch, minor, or major version. E.g. `premajor` with `--preid pre` would do a prerelease for a new major using the `-pre` suffix (i.e. it would be a new major with `-pre.0`)
+
+You can use `prerelease` to bump the version for a new pre-release version. E.g. you could run `npm version prerelease --preid pre --no-git-tag-version` to go from `-pre.0` to `-pre.1`.
+
+For regular versions, you can use `patch`, `minor`, or `major`. E.g. `npm version major --no-git-tag-version`.
+
+2. Update the changelog, which can be found in `CHANGELOG.md`. The heading must match `## <VERSION>` exactly, or it will not be picked up. For example, for version 1.0.11:
+
+```
+## 1.0.11
+```
+
+3. Commit and push the changes. On push the release workflow will automaticlly check if the release has been published on npm. If the release has not yet been published, the workflow will update the abi crosswalk file and publish a new npm release.
