Releasing Marked

Marked uses semantic-release to release new versions. All PRs should use the "Squash and merge" strategy and the commit message should follow the conventional commit guidelines.

Overall strategy

Master is always shippable: We try to merge PRs in such a way that master is the only branch to really be concerned about and master can always be released. This allows smoother flow between new features, bug fixes, and so on.

Versioning

We follow semantic versioning where the following sequence is true [major].[minor].[patch]:

  1. Major: There is at least one change to the public API or a break from the CommonMark or GFM spec. Only current and LTS Node.js versions are supported at any point in time. A drop in support for a Node.js version may not result in a semver major bump to Marked.
  2. Minor: There is at least one new feature added to the public API.
  3. Patch: Changes that move Marked closer to spec compliance or change a public API that does not break backwards compatibility.
