Release to NPM

[YOU54F]

Think the repo is all setup for releasing for npm, just needs some agreement on versioning.

Some related discussion here

#1 (comment)

Currently on release this will bump to v14.0.0 (its based on pact-js-cores previous versioning)

We could tag the release with the pact-ruby-standalone package version.

Do we want to retain the changelog? how relevant is it now, considering very little in their is relevant to these binaries (some will be)

Can you please add this to NPM please?

How can I install it? and if I use this, do I still need to have the ruby library installed?

hey bud.

there is an open rfc with regards to migration of this functionality from pact js core

pact-foundation/pact-js-core#488

you may wish to comment on that as it is relevant to the release of this to npm

you can install pact-js-core today and utilise the bin stubs as described in the readme.

a ruby runtime is bundled in pact-js-core and this project, as it is still required but you do not need ruby installed on your own machine. even if you do it wont be used
