Releasing a new gem version

[brendon]

@fabn, could you run me through how the new change log generator works? I'd like to release a new gem version.

Hi @brendon detailed instructions are available here

TL;DR

• Generate a github token here for your github username
• Release the gem and push the tag to github
• After you pushed to github (changelog needs the tag available online) run the rake task
• Inspect and commit updated changelog
• Push it 👯 👯

rake release
git tag vXYZ
git push --tags
# After you get the token
export CHANGELOG_GITHUB_TOKEN="«your-40-digit-github-token»"
rake changelog
git diff # To check the changelog
git -a commit -m 'Updated changelog'
git push

Let's put this in a doc somewhere. Great job doing this @fabn!

Indeed :) Thanks @fabn. @swanandp, I'll have a crack at the instructions then post them in the wiki once I've confirmed they're working well :)

Hi guys, I've released the 0.7.3 gem version. It looks like rake release creates the tag in github also, so I didn't run git tag... and git push --tags.

The wiki page is here: https://github.com/swanandp/acts_as_list/wiki/Creating-a-new-gem-version

Let me know if there are any problems.

Nice! 🎆
