UI Toolkit Release Process

Prerequisites

Create a new NPM user at https://www.npmjs.com.
Set up your NPM author information (taken from https://gist.github.com/coolaj86/1318304):
```
npm set init.author.name "Your Name"
npm set init.author.email "you@edx.org"
```
Confirm your settings:
```
npm config ls
```
Create an IT ticket to request that your account be made a contributor

Update the version

Update the Pattern Library version in the code:

Create a new branch from master

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout -b USERNAME/library-release

Update the version number:
- Update bower.json (for the Bower package)
- Update package.json (for the NPM package)
Add release notes to CHANGELOG.md
- Determine all the changes since the subsequent release
- e.g. https://github.com/edx/ux-pattern-library/compare/0.10.0...master
- Add a new section to CHANGELOG for the release number with bullets for each important change
Build the minified and uglified production assets:
```
gulp build-production
```
Add and commit all the updated files
Create a PR with your changes using the Pattern Library PR Template.
- Note: you only need one reviewer for a release PR
Merge your changes once you have thumbs

The UI Toolkit is available as both bower and NPM packages. Please follow these instructions for publishing to both package managers.

Create a new release in GitHub
- For example:
- Include the same bullet points from the CHANGELOG
- Note that Bower will automatically create a new release once the GitHub release has been created
Publish the updated version to NPM
```
npm publish
```
Confirm that the version updates have been applied:
- Look at the top of this page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/edx-pattern-library
- Note that there may be a slight delay before the updated versions appear
