Custom middleware support

[vjeux]

Would be nice to create an image that you can easily share on twitter.

Some things can could be there:

• The name of the project + version in one line
• A facepile of all the contributors that helped with the release
• Generated by release so more people know about this

That would be pretty sweet :)

Very cool!

We're adding support for a custom release.js in the workdir, which is going to be "middleware" for the release. Today I also had the use case that some releases I want to automatically upload artifacts, so the signature will probably be

release({ commits: [ author, sha, title ], projectData, version }) -> { title, files, desc, version }

And in release.js you could:

• Invoke the default release desc generator (i.e.: what happens right now)
  • For people who want to release in other locales (i18n) they can write their own
• Perform side effects (through plugins), like what you're describing. ie: tweet(releaseData)
