Version bump verbiage? #68

Closed mhulse closed 10 years ago

mhulse commented 10 years ago

Should I put this in CONTRIBUTING?

### Bumping the version:

When a build is ready for a version bump ...

1. Update `version` key value in `source/package.json`.
1. Update `version` key value in `bower.json`.
1. Build: `$ npm run grunt`.
1. Update the [changelog](/README.md#changelog) and [release history](/README.md#release-history) in the [README.md](/README.md) (if copy/pasting, don't forget to update the date and version numbers).
1. Push changes to GitHub.
1. Visit the [releases page](/releases) and click "[Draft a new release](/releases/new)".
1. Type the new version number in the "Tag version" field (e.g., `v1.2.1`).
1. Click "Publish release".

**Note:** Use [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).

### Update:

When finished, push your changes back to GitHub and submit a pull request.
