# Releasing
## Prerequisites
* You must have commit rights to the Capistrano repository.
* You must have push rights for the capistrano gem on rubygems.org.
## How to release
1. Run `bundle install` to make sure that you have all the gems necessary for testing and releasing.
2. **Ensure all tests are passing by running `rake spec` and `rake features`.**
3. Determine which would be the correct next version number according to [semver](http://semver.org/).
4. Update the version in `./lib/capistrano/version.rb`.
Maintain release notes using GitHub Actions (#2034) This commit sets up a GitHub Actions workflow that uses Release Drafter to automatically maintain release notes on every push. In practice this means that contributors no longer have to manually update the CHANGELOG, which is something that is easy to forget and often introduces tedious merge conflicts. Instead, Release Drafter automatically adds the title of the PR to the GitHub release notes to a draft release, crediting the author of the PR, and linking to the PR number. Release Drafter furthermore organizes the release notes into sections according to the labels assigned to the PRs: - ⚠️ Breaking - 🐛 Bug Fix - 📚 Docs - ✨ Feature - 🏠 Housekeeping This also simplifies the release process for maintainers: instead of manually updating the CHANGELOG, all you have to do is press "publish" on the release draft on GitHub. This brings capistrano into parity with the configuration of sshkit.
