RELEASE.md

Releasing createsend-ruby

Requirements

• You must have a RubyGems.org account and must be an owner of the createsend gem.

  Owners can be added to the createsend gem like this:

  gem owner createsend -a [email protected]
  

Prepare the release

• Increment the VERSION constant in the lib/createsend/version.rb file, ensuring that you use Semantic Versioning.

• Add an entry to HISTORY.md which clearly explains the new release.

• Commit your changes:

  git commit -am "Version X.Y.Z"
  

• Tag the new version:

  git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Version X.Y.Z"
  

• Push your changes to GitHub, including the tag you just created:

  git push origin master --tags
  

• Ensure that all tests pass, and that coverage is maintained or improved.

• Add a new GitHub Release using the newly created tag.
