# Releasing Danger-PR-Reviewers

There're no hard rules about when to release `danger-pr_reviewers`. Release bug fixes frequently, features not so frequently and breaking API changes rarely.

### Release

Install bundle, run tests, check that all tests succeed locally.

```
bundle install
rake
```

Check that the last build succeeded in [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/conichiGMBH/danger-pr_reviewers) for all supported platforms.

Increment the version, modify [lib/pr_reviewers/gem_version.rb](lib/pr_reviewers/gem_version.rb).

Following the [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/):
*  Increment the third number if the release has bug fixes and/or very minor features with backward compatibility, only (eg. change `0.2.1` to `0.2.2`).
*  Increment the second number if the release contains major features or breaking API changes (eg. change `0.2.1` to `0.3.0`).

Create a new version and mark it as Next in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).

```
### 0.2.2 (12/03/2016)
```

Remove the line with "* Your contribution here.", since there will be no more contributions to this release.

Commit your changes.

```
git add CHANGELOG.md lib/pr_reviewers/gem_version.rb
git commit -m "Preparing for release 0.2.2."
git push origin master
```
