Raising an issue ensures they are openly discussed and before spending any time on them.
Follow the guidelines on Semantic Versioning for assigning version numbers.
Change versions in a commit of their own, in a pull request of their own. This commit alerts team members to the new version and allows for last-minute scrutiny before the new version is released. Also, by raising a separate pull request, we avoid version number conflicts between feature branches.
- Use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
- Use the imperative mood ("Move thing to..." not "Moves thing to...")
- Limit the first line to 72 characters or less
- Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the first line
