+# How to create a Release
+
+To create a new release, do the following:
+- Bump the version in the README, lib.rs and cargo.toml
+- Try to run `cargo test --all-features`, `cargo doc --all-features --lib` and
+  `cargo publish --dry-run`
+- If none of the above commands fail, PR the changes and merge it
+- Checkout `main` on your local machine and run `cargo publish`
+- Once that is done, create the release in the Github UI (make sure it
+  creates the git tag as well) and that's it!
