Also see:

https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/2038
[x] open an issue using the "release" template with this checklist with title Checklist and coordination for v0.0.0 major/minor/patch release (see semantic versioning)
[ ] create a release project from this template. You can copy a project from its menu.
[x] compile release notes below from corresponding release project.
[x] open a pull request with updated version numbers
- [x] update version number in package.json (ex #1695)
- [x] update version number in examples/sw.js (ex #1734)
- [x] run npm install to update package-lock.json (from recent node version - 16 at time of writing, in GitPod should work)
- [x] check in package-lock.json
[x] finalize and merge to main branch (freeze merges to main branch until next step)

Now, move to stable branch:

[x] force push from main to stable
[x] then in stable branch, compile /dist/ files with grunt build
[x] add /dist/ files with git add -f /dist/* and commit them to stable branch
[x] publish stable branch to npm with npm publish (logging in first as necessary)

Draft a release:

[x] create a release on GitHub and use features description + release notes from below
[x] tag version number branch (i.e. v0.0.0) based on stable or choose stable
[x] publish to live Github pages demo (with bash script from /scripts/update-demo) (from within GitPod works well)
[x] move anything necessary to next release project, i.e. https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/projects/[insert project number]
[x] close this issue!

Noting we're now in this process in https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/issues/1751 for v3.7.0.

Hi! I saw the activity. I didn't get why we published 3.7.1 without publishing 3.7.0 though. (Edit: nvm, found it https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/pull/2034#issuecomment-1013714559)

For the next release, I guess we can start with updating https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/projects/4.

We just merged https://github.com/publiclab/image-sequencer/pull/2041 and anticipate it will unblock uptake of IS in MapKnitter: Bump image-sequencer from 1.4.1 to 3.7.1 https://github.com/publiclab/mapknitter/pull/1585

So, i'm inclined to release a v3.7.2 with just this addition, but we could also wait for more from here. If we wait, it will probably be v3.8.0, given some new features.

I'm going to go ahead and release v3.7.2 with these:
