Releasing a new Primer version 🎉

In primer/primer:

  1. Go through the tracking PR and make sure everything listed is merged in.

  2. To update the change log for your release, click on the details links for the continuous-integration/travis-ci/push build. Expand the Deploying application output and copy the change log content. Update the CHANGELOG.md file with the change log content from build

    Note: the CHANGELOG contents may be hidden within a collapsed section of the Travis logs under Deploying the application. Click the ▶ to the left of that section to expand it, then scroll to the bottom of the page, and copy all of the text between the Unreleased (YYYY-MM-DD) heading and the exit status message (e.g. Done. Your build exited with 0.). You may need to copy before releasing your mouse to prevent Travis from collapsing that section of the logs first.

  3. Bump the package versions in your terminal:

npm run bump
  1. Run script/check-versions to catch any cross-module version mismatches. (This will run on Travis, too.)

  2. Test your changes with the latest release candidate version in the appropriate places (styleguide, storybook, github/github).

  3. Once the release PR is approved and you've done necessary testing, merge to master. This will trigger publishing to npm.

  4. Create a new release branch for the next release from master and name it release-<version>. Please use the following template for the PR description, linking to pull the relevant issues and/or pull requests for each change, and removing irrelevant headings:
