[ANN] releasebot 0.1.0

[Will Hoover]

A new version of releasebot has just been released!

 

releasebot is a Grunt task for triggering an automated release process when a commit message matches a predefined regular expression. Comes complete with rollback when subsequent operations fail to execute.

 

So, you can essentially include something like "release v0.0.1" or "release v*.*.+" in your commit message and when your CI runs the task the release will be detected and proceed to execute the following actions:

 

-          Capture commit details from Git (on task registration)

-          Check for release trigger within commit message

-          Update package version to current release version (if needed)

-          Capture/write change log and/or authors (if directed)

-          Generate release archive assets (zip and tar)

-          Release/Tag version (with change log as description)

-          Upload archive assets

-          Publish/Push release distribution contents to distribution/pages/docs branch- such as GitHub Pages (creating the branch- if needed)

-          Publish release archive asset to npm

-          Update/Bump package version to next release version (auto increment or specified in commit message)
