Releasing Guard-Rack
====================
There're no particular rules about when to release guard-rack. Release bug fixes frequenty, features not so frequently and breaking API changes rarely.
### Release
Run tests, check that all tests succeed locally.
```
bundle install
rake
```
Check that the current master branch can successfully run [grape-on-rack](https://github.com/dblock/grape-on-rack).
Check that the last build succeeded in [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/dblock/guard-rack) for all supported platforms.
Increment the version, modify [lib/guard/rack/version.rb](lib/guard/rack/version.rb).
* Increment the third number if the release has bug fixes and/or very minor features, only (eg. change `0.5.1` to `0.5.2`).
* Increment the second number if the release contains major features or breaking API changes (eg. change `0.5.1` to `0.2.0`).
Change "Next Release" in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) to the new version.
```
