There're no particular rules about when to release mongoid-locker. Release bug fixes frequently, features not so frequently and breaking API changes rarely.
Run tests, check that all tests succeed locally.
bundle install
bundle exec rake
Check that the last build succeeded in GitHub Actions for all supported platforms.
Check the version, if needed modify lib/mongoid/locker/version.rb.
- Increment the third number if the release has bug fixes and/or very minor features, only (eg. change
0.5.1
to0.5.2
). - Increment the second number if the release contains major features or breaking API changes (eg. change
0.5.1
to0.4.0
).
