Leaflet/RELEASE.md

Releasing a new version of Leaflet

• Update the changelog since last release and commit.
• Run npm publish --dry-run to run all the necessary checks without actually publishing, and make sure it runs successfully.
• Run npm version <patch | minor | major> (this will bump the version in package.json and create a new tag).
• Run npm publish to publish to NPM.
• Verify that the release was correctly published to NPM by checking:
  • Leaflet NPM package page
  • files on Leaflet unpkg page
• Make a new release on Leaflet's GitHub release page with the most important parts of the changelog

Updating docs after the release

• Make a new branch for the update
• Write a blog post about the new release and put it in /docs/_posts
• If necessary to preserve previous version's docs, rename dist/reference.html to dist/reference-X.Y.Z.html and add it to the list in docs/reference-versions.html
• Run npm run docs to generate the new docs/reference.html
• Run npm run integrity and make sure docs/_config.yml is updated with new hashes
• Update link to latest release in docs/download.md
• Update the announcement section in docs/index.html
• Commit all the changes and submit a PR for someone to review
