# Releasing Grape-Rabl

There're no particular rules about when to release grape-rabl. 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-rabl) for all supported platforms.

Increment the version, modify [lib/grape-rabl/version.rb](lib/grape-rabl/version.rb).

*  Increment the third number if the release has bug fixes and/or very minor features, only (eg. change `0.7.1` to `0.7.2`).
*  Increment the second number if the release contains major features or breaking API changes (eg. change `0.7.1` to `0.8.0`).

Change "Next Release" in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md) to the new version.

```
