Releasing Mongoid::Locker
=========================

There're no particular rules about when to release mongoid-locker. Release bug fixes frequently, features not so frequently and breaking API changes rarely.

### Release

Run tests, check that all tests succeed locally.

```
bundle install
rake
```

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

Check the version, if needed modify [lib/mongoid/locker/version.rb](lib/mongoid/locker/version.rb).

*  Increment the third number if the release has bug fixes and/or very minor features, only (eg. change `0.5.1` to `0.5.2`).
*  Increment the second number if the release contains major features or breaking API changes (eg. change `0.5.1` to `0.4.0`).

Change "Next Release" in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) to the new version.

```
### 0.4.0 (2014-01-27)
```

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/mongoid-locker/version.rb

```
