-# Release
-
-Releases are automatically deployed to npm from Travis, when they are tagged.
-However, we have to make sure that the version in the `package.json`,
-and the changelog is updated.
-
-## Tests
-
-Before anything, run a little manual smoke test of some of our
-hard-to-programatically-test features:
-
-```bash
-npm run test:manual
-```
-
-## How to release
-
-With [Git Extras](https://github.com/tj/git-extras/blob/master/Installation.md)
-and [jq](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/download/) installed.
-
-While on `master`, with no uncommitted changes,
-
-```bash
-npm run changelog -- $VERSION
-# With no 'v'. For example: npm run changelog -- 7.7.1
-```
-
-This command does 3 things:
-1. Update the version in the `package.json`
-2. Update the changelog
-3. Creates a new commit with the changes
-
-Now we may want to cleanup the changelog:
-
-```bash
-vim CHANGELOG.md
-git commit --amend
-```
-
-Once we are satisfied,
-
-```bash
-git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m 'vX.Y.Z'
-git push --follow-tags origin master
-```
-
-On [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/nativefier/nativefier/releases),
-draft and publish a new release with title `Nativefier vX.Y.Z` (yes, with a `v`).
-
-Our CI will react on the new release, and publish it to npm.
-The new version will be visible on npm within a few minutes.
