Release preparation

• Collect changes and write release notes
• Draft release PR in GitHub that merges the release-x.x.x into the master branch

Release dependencies first

In case of dependent Phovea/TDP repositories follow dependency tree from the top:

• Release dependent repositories if they contain changes first before proceeding here
• Replace git dependencies in package.json with new version range (e.g., "phovea_core": "^2.3.1" when published on npm or "phovea_core": "github:datavisyn/tdp_core#semver:^8.0.0" for non-published repositories)
• Commit and push new dependencies
• Wait until build is successful
• Repeat with other repositories/dependencies or proceed with next section

Update version

• Check version numbers of dependencies again
• Check if build is successful
• Update this version number following semver
• Commit and push package.json with new version number
• Wait until build is successful
• Assign reviewer and wait for final review
• Merge this pull request into master branch
• Add release label (i.e., release: major, release: minor, or release: patch)

Publish npm release

• Copy release notes

Prepeare next develop release
