How to release:

1. Test (npm test), fix if broken before proceeding.
2. Ensure proper version in package.json and package-lock.json.
3. Ensure NEWS section exists for the new version, review it, add release date.
4. If there are modified dependencies in package.json, update them with npm upgrade {{package_name}}@{{version}}.
5. Commit package.json, package-lock.json, NEWS.
6. Run git tag -a Major.Minor.Patch. Use NEWS section as content.
7. Stub NEWS/package for next version.

Versions:

• Bugfix releases increment Patch component of version.
• Feature releases increment Minor and set Patch to zero.
• If backward compatibility is broken, increment Major and set to zero Minor and Patch.
• Branches named 'b.' are kept for any critical fix that might need to be shipped before next feature release is ready.
