Automatically version and publish CanJS and its release notes

[phillipskevin]

When changes are merged to master, I would like to:

• Automatically run the correct npm version script (based on CanJS’s versioning guidelines)
• Run the generate-release-notes script
• Create a new release using Github’s API

In order to accomplish this, write a Node script that:

• use git to check changes to dependencies (this is already done in the release notes script)
• compare dependency against list of “API changing packages” (in CanJS, these would be the core and infrastructure packages)
• increment the package.json version
  • major: any major changes in the “API changing packages”
  • minor: any minor changes in the “API changing packages”, any added dependencies
  • patch: anything else
• update version and publish canjs/canjs
• run generate-release-notes script
• publish new release in GItHub

Once this is working, we can run this script conditionally in Travis when merges are made to master.

Non-functional requirements

• GitHub APIs should be abstracted from main script
