Cut a release

1. Fetch changes to the repo and any new tags. Export VERSION by incrementing the last tag according to semantic versioning:

   git checkout master && git pull --rebase
   export VERSION=v0.x.y

2. Prepare a PR with the changes, updating CHANGELOG.md with any necessary additions at the same time. Have it reviewed and merged.

3. Upon merge, pull down the changes, tag each module with the new version, and push the new tags:

   git pull origin master
   git tag $VERSION
   git push --tags

4. Cut a new GitHub release by visiting new release, selecting the new tag, and copying in the version's CHANGELOG.md content as the release body.
