Releasing ShopifyAPI 1. Check the Semantic Versioning page for info on how to version the new release: http://semver.org 2. Update the version of ShopifyAPI in lib/shopify_api/version.rb 3. Add a CHANGELOG entry for the new release 4. Commit the changes with a commit message like "Packaging for release X.Y.Z" 5. Tag the release with the version (Leave REV blank for HEAD or provide a SHA) $ git tag vX.Y.Z REV 6. Push out the changes $ git push 7. Push out the tags $ git push --tags 8. Publish the gem using Shipit 9. Consider if the dependency in Shopify/shopify needs updated. It's used only by the tests so is a low risk change. Also consider Shopify/shopify_app whose gemspec depends on this. We don't need to do this for every release, but we should try to keep them relatively up to date.
