Releasing Grape-Entity

There're no particular rules about when to release grape-entity. Release bug fixes frequenty, 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 for all supported platforms.

Increment the version, modify lib/grape-entity/version.rb.

• Increment the third number if the release has bug fixes and/or very minor features, only (eg. change 0.5.1 to 0.5.2).
• Increment the second number if the release contains major features or breaking API changes (eg. change 0.5.1 to 0.4.0).

Change "Next Release" in CHANGELOG.md to the new version.
