Bud Release Process

To make a new release of the Bud gem, do the following:

1. Ensure you test your changes with both MRI 1.8 and 1.9.
2. If needed, update the version number in bud.gemspec and commit.
3. If needed, update the release notes in History.txt, including noting the date associated with the new release.
4. Create a tag for the release and push it to Github:

$ git tag -a v0.MAJOR.MINOR
$ git push --tags

3. Build a gem and push it to RubyGems:

$ gem build bud.gemspec
$ gem push bud-0.MAJOR.MINOR.gem

(Note that you'll need the appropriate credentials at RubyGems.) 4. Bump the version number in bud.gemspec (to reflect the development sources) and create a new section in History.txt, commit and push. 5. Email bloom-lang@googlegroups.com with a brief release announcement, and update the website accordingly.
