Releases

  1. Draft a new release tagged with the desired version
  2. Apply your changes on release branch
  3. On release branch, bump the version with yarn version to the corresponding version number
  4. Let the CI build artifacts for each platform
  5. Publish the draft

Note: you can remove artifacts and push changes over the same draft
