# Releasing Grape::ActiveModelSerializers
There're no particular rules about when to release grape-active_model_serializers. Release bug fixes frequently, features not so frequently and breaking API changes rarely.
### Release
Run tests, check that all tests succeed locally.
```
bundle install
rake
```
Check that the last build succeeded in [Travis CI](https://travis-ci.org/ruby-grape/grape-active_model_serializers) for all supported platforms.
Change "Next Release" in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) to the new version.
```
### 0.7.2 (February 6, 2014)
```
Remove the line with "Your contribution here.", since there will be no more contributions to this release.
Commit your changes.
```
git add CHANGELOG.md lib/grape-active_model_serializers/version.rb
git commit -m "Preparing for release, 0.7.2."
git push origin master
```

### Prepare for the Next Version
